| Zusammenfassung: | "This book is a wide-ranging historical study of the British circulation of the video nasties - a term that was originally coined in order to ban a group of horror videos in Britain in the 1980s. Through an exploration of the range of historical materials, the book examines how this unusual genre category was formulated in a particular context and then used (for different reasons) by moral campaigners, distributors, critics and fans.By examining the discourses that inform the circulation of a group of banned films, the book argues that censorship is not just about rules and regulations, but also about the discourses that generate censorship, and the cultural and commercial consequences of a censorship act or law."--Publisher. |

| adam_text | Trash or treasure? is a wide-ranging
historical study of the British circulation of
the video nasties , a term that was originally
coined to ban a group of horror videos in
Britain in the
1980s,
but which continues to
have cultural resonance in Britain up to the
present day.
The book is divided into three sections
which represent the key periods of existence
of the nasties category: the formation of
the term in the
1980s;
the fan culture that
formed around the nasties subsequent to
their banning under the Video Recordings
Act; and the DVD and theatrical re-release
of some of the nasty titles from
1990
onwards. Through an exploration of a range
of relevant historical materials (from film
reviews to fan websites to video advertising
materials), the book examines how this
unusual, historically-specific genre category
was formulated in a particular context, and
then used (for different reasons) by moral
campaigners, distributors, critics and fans.
By examining the discourses that inform
the circulation of a group of banned films,
including the growth of DVD, the internet
and the academic rehabilitation of horror
films, the book argues that censorship is not
just about rules and regulations, but also
about the material, cultural and commercial
consequences of a censorship act of law.
By focusing on this illuminating case
study, this book intersects with a range of
areas within film studies
-
covering film
censorship, film history and reception
studies, video and fan cultures and horror
and genre study
-
and will be of great
interest to lecturers and students of film,
popular culture and the media, as well
as enthusiasts of horror films and those
interested in film censorship debates.
