Cinema, Culture, Scotland: Selected Essays
Cinema, Culture, Scotland: Selected Essays anthologises selected key works from the oeuvre of Colin McArthur, a pioneering figure within Anglophone Film and Scottish cultural studies since the 1960s.

Cinema, Culture, Scotland: Selected Essays
Scotch Missed: Play for Today and Scotland
This article explores Scotland's relationship with and contribution to the Play for Today series. In order to quantify these, it proposes a working definition of ‘Scottishness’ based on representational content. This generates a body of 21 Scottish Plays for Today, which the article further breaks down into two sub-sets: seven plays produced outside Scotland and fourteen within. Noting that the externally produced plays are far better remembered …
Introduction: Scotch on the Box: Television Drama in Scotland, 1952–1990
Despite its position as possibly the most ubiquitous of all post-Second World War popular cultural media forms, and the wealth of existing scholarship on multiple aspects of British TV drama, telev
Containing the Spectre of the Past: The Evolution of the James Bond Franchise during the Daniel Craig Era
The notable commercial and critical success of the four James Bond films made with actor Daniel Craig playing the lead role – Casino Royale (Martin Campbell, GB/Cze/USA/Ger/Bah, 2006), Quantum of Solace (Marc Forster, GB/USA, 2008), Skyfall (Sam Mendes, GB/USA, 2012) and Spectre (Sam Mendes, GB/USA, 2015) – has, over the past decade, provoked a sustained increase in the amount of academic commentary and debate around the Bond character, his ficti…
Alliteration, America and Authorship: The Television Drama of John Byrne
Creative polymath John Byrne enjoys a secure and substantial international reputation within the graphic and theatrical arts, and as a seminal figure within late-twentieth and early-twenty-first century Scottish culture. Yet Byrne’s sustained engagement with screenwriting and screen directing practices between the late 1980s and late 1990s constitutes a critically under-examined aspect of his career to date. Moreover, such neglect is also symptom…
Give a dog a bone: Representations of Scotland in the popular genre cinema of Neil Marshall
The best-known and most influential cinematic image of Scotland is that which constructs the country as the civilised modern world’s northern boundary and ideological antithesis. This historically venerable representational tradition incorporates Brigadoon (Vincente Minnelli, USA, 1954), Brave (Mark Andrews/Brenda Chapman/Steve Purcell, USA, 2012) and much else in between. The following essay examines what is perhaps the most explicit and extende…
