"Behind-the-scenes" stories of ranting directors, stingy
producers, temperamental actors, and the like have fascinated us
since the beginnings of film and television. Today, magazines,
websites, television programs, and DVDs are devoted to telling
tales of trade lore from on-set antics to labor disputes. The
production of media has become as storied and mythologized as the
content of the films and TV shows themselves.
Production Studies is the first volume to bring together a
star-studded cast of interdisciplinary media scholars to examine
the unique cultural practices of media production. The all-new
essays collected here combine ethnographic, sociological, critical,
material, and political-economic methods to explore a wide range of
topics, from contemporary industrial trends such as new media and
niche markets to gender and workplace hierarchies. Together, the
contributors seek to understand how the entire span of "media
producers" ranging from high-profile producers and directors to
anonymous stagehands and costume designers work through
professional organizations and informal networks to form
communities of shared practices, languages, and cultural
understandings of the world.
This landmark collection connects the cultural activities of
media producers to our broader understanding of media practices and
texts, establishing an innovative and agenda-setting approach to
media industry scholarship for the twenty-first century.
