American Televangelism and Participatory Cultures
This book examines unintended participatory cultures and media surrounding the American televangelists Robert Tilton and Tammy Faye Bakker-Messner. It brings to light heavily ironic fan followings; print, audio, and video projects; public access television parodies; and other comedic participatory practices associated with these controversial preachers from the 1980s onwards. For Tilton’s ministry, some of these activities and artifacts would prove irksome and even threatening, particularly an analog video remix turned online viral sensation. In contrast, Bakker-Messner’s “campy” fans – gay men attracted to her “ludicrous tragedy” – would provide her unexpected opportunities for career rehabilitation. Denis J. Bekkering challenges “supply-side” religious economy and branding approaches, suggestions of novelty in religion and “new” media studies, and the emphasis on sincere devotion in research on religion and fandom. He also highlights how everyday individuals have long participated in public negotiations of Christian authenticity through tongue-in-cheek play with purported religious “fakes.”
American International Pictures
American International Pictures was in many ways the "missing link" between big-budget Hollywood studios, "poverty-row" B-movie factories and low-rent exploitation movie distributors. AIP first targeted teen audiences with science fiction, horror and fantasy, but soon grew to encompass many genres and demographics--at times, it was indistinguishable from many of the "major" studios. From Abby to Zontar, this filmography lists more than 800 feature films, television series and TV specials by AIP and its partners and subsidiaries. Special attention is given to American International Television (the TV arm of AIP) and an appendix lists the complete AITV catalog. The author also discusses films produced by founders James H. Nicholson and Samuel Z. Arkoff after they left the company.
It Came from Hunger!
It's Alive!, Mistress of the Apes, The Naked Witch, Mars Needs Women and Zontar, the Thing from Venus--in these movies and many others, guerrilla filmmaker Larry Buchanan single-handedly created a movie genre, the good bad picture. Fiercely independent, Buchanan wrote, produced and directed some of the best B-movies ever (and maybe even a few Cs or Ds) on shoestring budgets. Buchanan grew up in a Dallas orphanage with but one dream: to make picture shows. He shot his first full-length movie, Apache Gold (aka Grubstake), in 1952; it featured Jack Klugman in his first film role. In one hit and run, he got permission to film Naughty Dallas (aka A Stripper Is Born) at Jack Ruby's Carousel Club in 1958 by promising Ruby a walk-on role, then dropped him--and his club--on the cutting room floor. Buchanan discovered Misty Rowe, the star of his most successful work, Goodbye, Norma Jean, while gazing out the window of his office. These stories and more tell what it's really like to be an independent filmmaker in Hollywood.

Art, Performance, Media
Over the course of fifteen years, Nicholas Zurbrugg interviewed the avant-garde poets, filmmakers, dancers, writers, composers, and performance artists who were defying tradition, crossing genres, and forever changing how art would be created, performed, and interpreted. These conversations with thirty-one of the leading multimedia artists in the United States now form a comprehensive record, from the insiders' perspectives, of the most vital component of the postmodern American art world. Passionate about postmodernism and committed to innovative creativity, Zurbrugg asks these artists probing and insightful questions. How did their work evolve? Who most influenced them? How did they assess...
