A new world : transformations in mediascapes, the 1990s and beyond. 520 8 $a Reel Pleasures brings the world of African moviehouses and the publics they engendered to life, revealing how local fans creatively reworked global media--from Indian melodrama to Italian westerns, kung fu, and blaxploitation films--to speak to local dreams and desires. In it, Laura Fair zeroes in on Tanzanians' extraordinarily dynamic media cultures to demonstrate how the public and private worlds of film reception brought communities together and contributed to the construction of genders, generations, and urban citizenship over time. Radically reframing the literatures on media exhibition, distribution, and reception, Reel Pleasures demonstrates how local entrepreneurs and fans worked together to forge the most successful cinema industry in colonial sub-Saharan Africa. The result is a major contribution to the literature on transnational commodity cultures. 650 0 $a Motion picture industry $z Tanzania. 650 0 $a Motion picture audiences $x Social aspects $z Tanzania. 650 0 $a Motion picture theaters $z Tanzania. 650 7 $a Motion picture industry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027150 650 7 $a Motion picture audiences. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027116 650 7 $a Motion picture theaters. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027261 651 7 $a Tanzania. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210143 830 0 $a New African histories series. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20181116040135.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9D59D44C580511E8A8F83C5097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
