Existing scholarship dismisses newsreels as trivial status-quo propaganda in interwar Britain. Yet their place in daily life and reception by audiences has been assumed rather than researched. Using a history of everyday life approach, my research seeks to recover the actual quotidian experience of newsreels and analyse the ways they helped forge cinemagoers' worldviews. Building upon an undergraduate dissertation, this project will pay particular attention to how newsreels projected social change. It will use a new array of sources, foremost recently digitised newsreels, to explore newsreels' role in constituting daily interwar British life.

现有的学术界认为新闻片是两次世界大战之间英国的琐碎的现状宣传。然而，它们在日常生活和观众接受中的地位一直是假设而不是研究的。使用日常生活的历史方法，我的研究旨在恢复新闻片的实际经验，并分析它们帮助塑造电影观众世界观的方式。在本科毕业论文的基础上，这个项目将特别关注新闻片如何预测社会变革。它将使用一系列新的来源，最重要的是最近数字化的新闻片，以探索新闻片在构成两次世界大战之间的英国日常生活中的作用。
