SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The new edition of this influential work revises, updates, and expands the scope of the original, including more sustained analyses of individual films, from The Birth of a Nation to The Wolf of Wall Street. An interdisciplinary exploration of the relationship between American politics and popular films, Projecting Politics offers original approaches to determining the political contours of films and to connecting cinematic language to political messaging. A new chapter covering 2000 to 2013 updates the decade-by-decade look at the Washington-Hollywood nexus, with special areas of focus including the post-9/11 increase in overtly political films and the tension between the rise of political war films like Green Zone and films fightly constructed around the experience of U.S. troops like The Hurt Locker. The new edition on also considers recent developments such as the Citizens United Supreme Court decision, the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act, the political dispute over Zero Dark Thirty, newer generation actor-activists, and the effects of shifting industrial financing structures on political content. A new chapter addresses the resurgence of the disaster-apocalyptic film, while updated chapters on nonfiction film, the politics of race, and gender in political films round out this expansive, timely new work.
