• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Global James Bond explores the interplay between the global and the local in the longest-running film franchise in history. It considers how the world is envisaged in the series and reinterpreted on local and regional levels with alternative meanings running counter to the representational and geo-political logics of the original texts.
