{"product_id":"contemporary-hollywood-masculinities-susanne-kord-9780230338418","title":"Contemporary Hollywood Masculinities: Gender, Genre, and Politics","description":"Kord and Krimmer investigate the most common male types - cops, killers, fathers, cowboys, superheroes, spies, soldiers, rogues, lovers, and losers - by tracing changing concepts of masculinity in popular Hollywood blockbusters from 1992 to 2008 - the Clinton and Bush eras - against a backdrop of contemporary political events, social developments, and popular American myths. Their in-depth analysis of over sixty films, from The Matrix and Iron Man to Pirates of the Caribbean and The Lord of the Rings, shows that movies, far from being mere entertainment, respond directly to today's social and political realities, from consumerism to \"family values\" to the War on Terror.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susanne Kord,Elisabeth Krimmer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0230338410\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780230338418\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/12\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.00w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2012","brand":"Susanne Kord","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47420625125631,"sku":"9780230338418","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9ba739e9-6491-4f2f-9d60-cb1c6b39b864.jpg?v=1761526233","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/contemporary-hollywood-masculinities-susanne-kord-9780230338418","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
