{"product_id":"postmodern-movies-richard-gilmore-9781944296001","title":"Postmodern Movies: Neo-Comic Tragedies, Neo-Noirs, Neo-Westerns","description":"Genre is the classic, modernist method of identifying a movie. A movie is a Western. Or it a Film Noir. Or it is a Romantic Comedy. Or whatever.But what if, as Jacque Derrida has asked, there is something more going on?\"What if there were, lodged within the heart of the law of genre itself, a law of impurity or a principle of contamination? And suppose the condition for the possibility of the law were the a priori of a counter-law, an axiom of impossibility that would confound its sense, order, and reason?\" These postmodern questions destabilize not only the idea of individual genres, but the very idea of genre itself. Hence: neo-genres. Neo-genres are genres that understand, as it were, their own contingency. Neo-genres revel in their own self-consciousness. In this ground-breaking new book, film scholar Richard Gilmore reflects on these neo-genre films, and the wisdom - if any - that can be found in them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Gilmore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 194429600X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781944296001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Silver Goat Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/29\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.44d","brand":"Richard Gilmore","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43940241342719,"sku":"9781944296001","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e7a92bd3-f805-4d09-9e31-f749689afda1.jpg?v=1681446059","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/postmodern-movies-richard-gilmore-9781944296001","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
