SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Demonstrates how ideas stemming from complex literary theory can be found in even the most mainstream movies. This book aims to show, through specific examples, how once-arcane literary theory (deconstruction, post-Marxism, subject position, reader response) has infiltrated popular culture.
