Money can be given a particular occasion and career, as box office receipts, casino winnings, tax credits, stock prices, lotteries, inheritances. Or money can become number, and numbers can be anything: pixels, batting averages, votes, likes. Through explorations of all these and more, J.D. Connor's Hollywood Math and Aftermath provides a stimulating and original take on \"the equation of pictures,\" the relationship between Hollywood and economics since the 1970s. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTouched off by an engagement with the work of Gilles Deleuze, Connor demonstrates the centrality of the economic image to Hollywood narrative. More than just a thematic study, this is a conceptual history of the industry that stretches from the dawn of the neoclassical era through the Great Recession and beyond. Along the way, Connor explores new concepts for cinema studies: precession and recession, pervasion and staking, ostension and deritualization. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEnlivened by a wealth of case studies-from \u003ci\u003eThe Big Short\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Wolf of Wall Street\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eEquity\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBlackhat\u003c\/i\u003e, from \u003ci\u003eMoneyball\u003c\/i\u003e to\u003ci\u003e 12 Years a Slave\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTitanic\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eLost\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Exorcist\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eWALLE\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDéjà Vu \u003c\/i\u003eto \u003ci\u003eUpstream Color, Contagion\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eThe Untouchables\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFerris Bueller \u003c\/i\u003eto \u003ci\u003ePacific Rim\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Avengers\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eThe Village\u003c\/i\u003e-\u003ci\u003eHollywood Math and Aftermath\u003c\/i\u003e is a bravura portrait of the industry coming to terms with its own numerical underpinnings.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJ.D.
