The Screen Education Reader: Cinema, Television, Culture (Communications & Culture) - Softcover

"Screen Education" was the sister journal of "Screen", and during its ten year run in the 1970s, was one of the most influential sources of ideas about the media and their educational relevance. Drawing on a wide range of radical ideas from Marxism, semiotics, psychoanalysis and cultural studies, this book challenges the orthodox ideas of academic disciplines and the educational establishment.
