与那些将电影中的后现代主义仅仅定义为一种视觉风格或一套叙事惯例的人不同，安妮·弗里德伯格首次对电影在后现代文化中的作用进行了持续的描述。她探讨了十九世纪的视觉体验摄影，城市漫步，全景和立体模型娱乐的方式，预测了电影，视频，购物中心和新兴的“虚拟现实”技术提供的当代乐趣。通过比较购物、旅游和观影的视觉实践，弗里德伯格认为，通过时间和空间的“虚拟”流动性的体验是后现代文化身份的关键决定因素。在评价詹姆逊、利奥塔、鲍德里亚等人的理论时，她补充了关于性别和性别流动性在消费文化结构中的作用的批判性见解。《橱窗购物》是一部引人注目的原创作品，挑战了许多关于后现代到底是什么的现有假设。这本书标志着当代文化研究中出现了一种引人注目的新声音。
Departing from those who define postmodernism in film merely as a visual style or set of narrative conventions, Anne Friedberg develops the first sustained account of the cinema's role in postmodern culture. She explores the ways in which nineteenth-century visual experiences--photography, urban strolling, panorama and diorama entertainments--anticipate contemporary pleasures provided by cinema, video, shopping malls, and emerging "virtual reality" technologies. Comparing the visual practices of shopping, tourism, and film-viewing, Friedberg identifies the experience of "virtual" mobility through time and space as a key determinant of postmodern cultural identity. Evaluating the theories of Jameson, Lyotard, Baudrillard, and others, she adds critical insights about the role of gender and gender mobility in the configurations of consumer culture. A strikingly original work, Window Shopping challenges many of the existing assumptions about what exactly postmodern is. This book marks the emergence of a compelling new voice in the study of contemporary culture.
