Produktbeschreibung

Surveying disaster film from a Lacanian psychoanalytic perspective, this book explores the disaster film genre from its initial appearance in 1933 (The Grapes of Wrath, 1933) to its present-day form (Don't Look Up!, 2021), laying bare the ideological unconscious at work within the genre.
