The Presence of the Past offers a new perspective on Hollywood's "New Wave" as engaged with the vitality of sensory experience and the affective imagination. As author Daniel Bishop shows, the soundtracks of several key films of the New Hollywood Cinema of the late 1960s and 70s cultivated an array of sensibilities regarding the American past. This importance of the past exceeded the New Hollywood's acknowledged use of genre revisionism as a vehicle for timely ideological commentary. There was also a vital tendency in this era to locate the past as an object of imagined phenomenal presence. Although this concept of the past never solidified into a self-conscious discourse, it was nevertheless woven into film culture, readable between the lines of criticism, cultural reception, New Wave aesthetics, and in the aesthetic and industrial transformations of sound design and film music. Bonnie and Clyde (1967), Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969), McCabe and Mrs. Miller (1971), The Last Picture Show (1971), American Graffiti (1973), Chinatown (1974), and Badlands (1973) are not only key texts of an exciting era in American popular cinema. They are also mediations upon the presence of the past, an image central to the polarities of visceral energy and ambiguous ephemerality, of utopian dreams and melancholy resignation that characterized this cinema. These sensibilities of pastness engage in diverse ways with myth, nostalgia, paranoia, and existential alienation. They are, however, also united by a concern both with the experiential actuality of the past and with the distances that inevitably separate us from this actuality.

Drawing on the insights of economic sociology, 'Small Firms and Universities: How Training Markets Are Socially Constructed' offers a detailed account of actor behaviour within the market for vocational education and training. Against the background of debates surrounding the central role of skills in promoting success within the global economy, Daniel Bishop questions the popular suggestion that individuals and organisations will make rationally (and asocially) calculated 'investments' in their skills, education and training in order to further their chances of success. Through a study of small firms and universities, he presents an alternative view of the training market: one where the participants are embedded in a complicated web of subjective orientations and social relations. The discussion dissects and explores this embeddedness and complexity, and offers a new way forward for understanding the way in which markets for education and training operate.
