The Video Store's Cultural-historical Significance in Sweden

Project: Dissertation

Project Details

Description

Part of my dissertation consists of a macro-historical mapping of rental video stores in Sweden. The macro-historical foundation informs the main part of the dissertation: an analysis of micro-historical material (interviews, news stories, etc.) with a focus on describing the function and more importantly the experience of renting films in a video store. These experiences are related to the experience of film in general.

My study can be placed within that branch of film history called New Cinema History; in particular through its ethnological methods on film historiography.
