This book is about American films from the late sixties and early seventies, how they use music and sound to foreground an imagined engagement with the lived immediacy of experience, and how this experience is related to the idea of the historical past.
About the Author
Review Daniel Bishop largely achieves the objectives set forth in the introduction, which makes The Presence of the Past a valuable read for scholars who specialize in film music and film philosophy. Scholars with a more general interest in film or who focus on the historical film may find Bishop's more musicological passages difficult. These scholars, however, can still benefit from The Presence of the Past, especially the first and fourth chapters. These chapters highlight ways to think more deeply, subtly, and profitably about the role of music and sound design in cinema, especially in terms of historical films. ― Chris Stone, H-Net: Humanities and Social Sciences OnlineThe Presence of the Past offers a fresh take on many iconic films from the New Hollywood era by exploring underlying tensions between past and present, and myth and history in their soundtracks. Through an erudite and incisive analysis, Bishop reveals how overlapping 'temporal resonances' in these films constitute an essential part of their experiential allure. ― Danijela Kulezic-Wilson, author of Sound Design is the New Score: Theory, Aesthetics, and Erotics of the Integrated Soundtrack (OUP, 2015)In this engaging and imaginative study, Daniel Bishop approaches films and their mythic aura through seeing their music as a crucial frame for deeper interpretation. Bishop is to be congratulated on this bold and highly illuminating study, which engages and probes the complexities of historical representation in a number of key American films of the 1970s. The discussions are rich, revealing and lively, arguing most convincingly for music's primacy in the films' paradoxical and ambiguous sense of the past. ― Kevin Donnelly, Professor of Film and Film Music, University of Southampton
