{"product_id":"fathers-on-film-katie-barnett-9781350191600","title":"Fathers on Film: Paternity and Masculinity in 1990s Hollywood","description":"The father is an enduring and iconic figure in Hollywood cinema and in the 1990s, narratives of redemptive fatherhood featured prominently in some of the decade's most popular films like \u003ci\u003eKindergarten Cop\u003c\/i\u003e(1990), \u003ci\u003eMrs Doubtfire\u003c\/i\u003e(1993), \u003ci\u003eJurassic Park\u003c\/i\u003e (1993) and \u003ci\u003eThe Lion King\u003c\/i\u003e(1994). Interpreting such films through the lens of feminist and queer theory, along with masculinity studies and psychoanalysis, Katie Barnett offers an insightful and interdisciplinary discussion of cinematic fathers.\u003cbr\u003eBarnett reveals that the father figure is often portrayed as one that invests in and is part of a discourse of reproductive futurism. This plays out across a range of genres including rom-coms, fantasy, sci-fi, drama, and disaster. By exploring both blockbuster and more low-budget films of the 1990s, Barnett explores the figure of the father against the crisis of masculinity in the United States, and indeed more globally, at this time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katie Barnett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350191604\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350191600\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/26\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.56d","brand":"Katie Barnett","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43943384056063,"sku":"9781350191600","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_1223ab3d-32e7-4d7a-a265-2ab6d333a670.jpg?v=1681497815","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fathers-on-film-katie-barnett-9781350191600","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
