This new collection of writings on Alfred Hitchcock celebrates the
remarkable depth and scope of his artistic achievement in film. It
explores his works in relationship both to their social context and
to the traditions of critical theory they continue to inspire. The
collection draws on the best of current Hitchcock scholarship,
featuring the work of both new and established scholars. It
displays the full diversity of critical methods that have
characterized the study of this director's films in recent years.
The articles are grouped into four thematic sections: "Authorship
and Aesthetics" examines Hitchcock as auteur and investigates
central topics in Hitchcockian aesthetics. "French Hitchcock" looks
at Hitchcock's influence on filmmakers such as Chabrol, Truffaut
and Rohmer, and how film critics such as Bazin and Deleuze have
engaged with Hitchcock's work. "Poetics and Politics of Identity"
explores the representation of personal and political in
Hitchcock's work, and the final section, "Death and
Transfiguration" addresses the manner in which the spectacle and
figuration of death haunts the narrative universe of Hitchcock's
films, in particular his subversive masterpiece "Psycho,"
