K. Combe, B. Boyle

Masculinity and Monstrosity in Contemporary Hollywood Films (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

In film, Men are good and Monsters are bad. In this book, Combe and Boyle consider the monstrous body as a metaphor for the cultural body and regard gendered behavior as a matter of performativity. Taken together, these two identity positions, manliness and monsterliness, offer a window into the workings of current American society.
