The representation of aquatic people in contemporary film and television—from their on-screen sexuality to the mockumentaries they’ve inspired. Mermaids have been a feature of western cinema since its inception and the number of films, television series, and videos representing them has expanded exponentially since the 1980s. Making a Splash analyses texts produced within a variety of audiovisual genres. Following an overview of mermaids in western culture that draws on a range of disciplines including media studies, psychoanalysis, and post-structuralism, individual chapters provide case studies of particular engagements with the folkloric figure. From Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Little Mermaid” to the creation of Ursula, Ariel’s tentacled antagonist in Disney’s 1989 film, to aspects of mermaid vocality, physicality, agency, and sexuality in films and even representations of mermen, this work provides a definitive overview of the significance of these ancient mythical figures in 110 years of western audio-visual media.

"Of all mythological creatures, the mermaid is the most popular, alluring and sexually symbolic. In this original and entertaining book, Beatrice Phillpotts considers the mermaid's evolution from the fish-tailed marine deities worshipped in ancient times, through Venus and the classical sea goddesses to the traditional image of the supremely desirable 'sea enchantress' with her flowing hair, comb and mirror. She considers the psycho-sexual role of the mermaid as a destructive femme fatale and ranges over such features as bizarre mermaid/human marriages, strange travelers, tales, fables, hoaxes and exhibitions of fake 'mermaids', her appearance in literature, drama, ballet and the cinema. This most glamorous and fascinating creature has been a source of inspiration for painters and craftsmen for centuries, from anonymous Medieval artists to Old Masters, Turner, the Pre-Raphaelites, Klimt and the Symbolists, Surrealists and numerous graphic artists and book illustrators, including Dulac and Rackham. Their diverse representations of the mermaid are presented in over 100 illustrations, 32 of them in colour."--Back cover of book.
