This is a study of the representation of suburban space in US film and television. Suburbia. Say the word and a stream of images pass before your eyes: white picket fence, neatly mowed lawns, winding roads nicely lined with trees, pastel tinted bungalows, bored housewives, conspicuous consumption. We all know what the suburbs are about. Or do we? This book looks again at the filmic and televised spaces we think we know so well. How are these spaces built up? What is it that makes us recognize them as suburbs? How do they function?

Telling the personal stories of Australians in Japan and Japanese in Australia, this book explores issues of race, identity and ambition in times of war and peace. The essays collected here illuminate a variety of fascinating lives and individual achievements, from trade to literature and the arts, the media and the justice system. For over 150 years, people have been shaped by and contributed to the breadth, strength and diversity of the Australia-Japan relationship. As the editors and their contributors contend, a transnational relationship is ultimately constituted by hundreds of untold, seesawing and yet fruitful personal encounters that overcome prejudice, and blur the boundaries set by official and unofficial racial mores.--publisher.

Lent, Amy Louise Maynard, Shari Sabeti, Rob Salkowitz, Kalervo A. Sinervo, Jeremy Stoll, Valerie Wieskamp, Adriana Estrada Wilson, and Benjamin Woo The Comics World: Comic Books, Graphic Novels, and Their Publics is the first collection to explicitly examine the production, circulation, and reception of comics from a social-scientific point of view. Designed to promote interdisciplinary dialogue about theory and methods in comics studies, this volume draws on approaches from fields as diverse as sociology, political science, history, folklore, communication studies, and business, among others, to study the social life of comics and graphic novels. Taking the concept of a “comics world”—that is, the collection of people, roles, and institutions that “produce” comics as they are—as its organizing principle, the book asks readers to attend to the contexts that shape how comics move through societies and cultures. Each chapter explores a specific comics world or particular site where comics meet one of their publics, such as artists and creators; adaptors; critics and journalists; convention-goers; scanners; fans; and comics scholars themselves. Through their research, contributors demonstrate some of the ways that people participate in comics worlds and how the relationships created in these spaces can provide different perspectives on comics and comics studies. Moving beyond the page, The Comics World explores the complexity of the lived reality of the comics world: how comics and graphic novels matter to different people at different times, within a social space shared with others.

In recent years, Hollywood has increasingly suburbanised; US television, too, is progressively suburban. This can hardly be considered surprising, since it mirrors America's changing demographic: by 2000, more than half of all Americans inhabited a suburban dwelling and that number is still steadily increasing. The only thing that is surprising is that it seems to have gone by film and television critics unnoticed. This thesis seeks to address this critical gap. Examining the representation of the suburb across genres and formats, it asks what it means to be 'suburban'. In the first chapter, the thesis examines the ontology of the suburb as fictional entity in Pleasantville. The second and third chapter are concerned with the suburban mise-en-scene. Chapter Two concentrates in particular on the relationship between visual style and geography in Happiness, while the third chapter focuses on technical issues of width, depth, and volume in The Simpsons and King of the Hill. The final two chapters engage with the construction of the suburb as a social space. In the fourth chapter Desperate Housewives is analysed in order to come to an understanding of the relationships between the suburb and gender. Chapter Five, finally, looks at the representation of space and age in three teen noirs - Brick, Chumscrubber, and Alpha Dog - so as to suggest another language via which the cinematic and televisual suburb can be discussed in more complex and rewarding ways. The thesis argues that what makes a suburb suburban is not any particular spatiality, but a variable interplay between forms and meanings that renders an environment at once fixed and radically instable.
