Department of British and American Studies Takehisa Tsuchiya 's translation of "Adventures in Film Genre Theory: Dialectics of Creation and Transformation" has been published.
A word from the translator
For example, why do Frankenstein's monster and zombies fascinate audiences? The answer lies in genre. This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to appreciate film in depth. Westerns, horror, science fiction, musicals... genres can be thought of as the map of cinema. Understanding genres will completely change your view of cinema. The author is Professor Keith Barry Grant, a leading authority on film genre research. He explores the evolution and depth of genres through numerous masterpieces, inviting readers on an exciting intellectual adventure. As the translator, it is my greatest pleasure to be able to bring this book to Japanese readers.
