Eric Dodson-Robinson’s Revenge, Agency, and Identity from European Drama to Asian Film challenges critical readings of drama, film, and literature that downplay agency. From Attic tragedy, through Seneca and Shakespeare, and into Japanese and Korean film, the book pursues the agent of vengeance in her fury to reconstruct an identity shattered by trauma. Tragic revenge is an imaginary theater only partly encompassed by disciplines, institutions, and discourses. In this theater, violence becomes contagious and potentially transformative as performance gives birth to the agent of vengeance: a complex, emergent agent who is more than the sum of the actors, auteur, tradition, and audience, all of whom infiltrate, and strive to control, her will. The agent of vengeance, determined to outdo past exemplars, exacts traumatic excess, not equivalence.

The study of ideology and narratology in film reveals intricate layers of meaning and cultural significance embedded within cinematic narratives. This exploration delves into how ideologies are conveyed, reinforced, or challenged across multiple installments of a film franchise. By analyzing the narrative structures, character developments, and thematic continuities, scholars can uncover the underlying messages and societal implications that shape audience perceptions. Analyzing Ideology and Narratology in Film Series, Sequels, and Trilogies explores the complex narrative and ideological dimensions within multi-installment cinematic works. It investigates how sequential storytelling in film not only entertains but also reflects and shapes cultural, social, and political ideologies. By examining narrative structures in film series and franchises, this book reveals the subtle ways in which ideologies are constructed, perpetuated, or subverted. Covering topics such as narrative complexity, psychoanalytical analysis, and ideology, this book is a valuable resource for academicians, researchers, post-graduate students, educators, sociologists, and more.

Receptions of Greek and Roman Antiquity in East Asia is an interdisciplinary, collaborative, and global effort to examine the receptions of the Western Classical tradition in a cross-cultural context. The inclusion of modern East Asia in Classical reception studies not only allows scholars in the field to expand the scope of their scholarly inquiries but will also become a vital step toward transcending the meaning of Greco-Roman tradition into a common legacy for all of human society.

The global film industry has witnessed significant transformations in the past few years. Regions outside the USA have begun to prosper while non-traditional production companies such as Netflix have assumed a larger market share and online movies adapted from literature have continued to gain in popularity. How have these trends shaped the global film industry? This book answers this question by analyzing an increasingly globalized business through a global lens. Development of the Global Film Industry examines the recent history and current state of the business in all parts of the world. While many existing studies focus on the internal workings of the industry, such as production, distribution and screening, this study takes a "big picture" view, encompassing the transnational integration of the cultural and entertainment industry as a whole, and pays more attention to the coordinated development of the film industry in the light of influence from literature, television, animation, games and other sectors. This volume is a critical reference for students, scholars and the public to help them understand the major trends facing the global film industry in today’s world.
