Description

Explore the connection between social theory and contemporary cinema with this academic study by Norman Denzin. Published by Sage Publications in association with Theory, Culture & Society, this book examines the tension between postmodern ideas and traditional methods of social analysis. Through a series of studies on mainstream Hollywood movies, the text bridges the gap between social theory and cinematic representations of life. Denzin uses films such as Blue Velvet, Wall Street, and Do the Right Thing to analyze complex social ideas. The work examines concepts found in poststructuralism, postmodernism, feminism, cultural studies, and Marxism. Readers can study the ideas of key theorists like Baudrillard and Barthes through the lens of popular film. This book provides a deep look at how contemporary media reflects and shapes our understanding of society.
