The average rating for Only Entertainment based on 2 reviews is 3 stars.
Review # 1 was written on 2012-04-17 00:00:00 James Webster This collection of essays by film scholar Richard Dyer are all specifically about entertainment as a concept, or are about entertainers and entertainment products such as movies, pin-up posters and disco. I've read and re-read the chapters on how entertainment is constructed and deconstructed as a concept because I find it a fascinating and under-researched area of cultural studies. The other chapters are great supporting case studies. The book can feel a little scattered at times, because these essays and articles have been collected from over Dyer's career and were originally published in a variety of different journals. However, the introduction and the last chapter on the waning of entertainment (added for the second edition, I believe) help underline the themes and tie the book together. |
