Klappentext "A study of post-1945 contemporary Western films within the social and cultural context of western studies"-- ""Post-Westerns" is distinguished by its theoretical sophistication, its brilliant close readings of the form and content of a diversity of modern and contemporary films, and its close meditation on the potential politics associated with such films [as they] address the intersection of memory, identity, and history."--Stephen Tatum, author of "In the Remington Moment"--Stephen Tatum"Stephen Tatum" (07/08/2013) Zusammenfassung Employing the ideas of critics such as Deleuze, Jacques Derrida, and Jacques Rancière, Neil Campbell examines the haunted inheritance of the Western in contemporary US culture.
