Hitchcock and the Anxiety of Authorship examines issues of cinema
authorship engaged by and dynamized within the director's films. A
unique study of self-reflexivity in Hitchcock's work from his
earliest English silents to his final Hollywood features, this book
considers how the director's releases constitute ever-shifting
meditations on the conditions and struggles of creative agency in
cinema. Abramson explores how, located in literal and emblematic
sites of dramatic production, exhibition, and reception, and
populated by figures of directors, actors, and audiences,
Hitchcock's films exhibit a complicated, often disturbing vision of
authorship - one that consistently problematizes rather than
exemplifies the director's longstanding auteurist image. Viewing
Hitchcock in a striking new light, Abramson analyzes these
allegories of vexed agency in the context of his concepts of and
commentary on the troubled association between cinema artistry and
authorship, as well as the changing cultural, industrial,
theoretical, and historical milieus in which his features were
produced. Accordingly, the book illuminates how Hitchcock and his
cinema register the constant dynamics that constitute film
authorship.
