Neoliberalism and Global Cinema (eBook, ePUB)

Capital, Culture, and Marxist Critique
Redaktion: Kapur, Jyotsna; Wagner, Keith

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In this edited volume, an international ensemble of scholars looks at how the world's various cinemas, including Asia, Africa, Latin America, Europe, and the U.S., have variously performed, contested, and reinforced the worldwide transition to neoliberalism. Grounded in Marxist theory, the volume considers how the contradictions of capital, both as culture and commerce, have played out globally in contemporary media culture.
