{"product_id":"the-bondian-cold-war-martin-d-brown-9780367569365","title":"The Bondian Cold War: The Transnational Legacy of a Cultural Icon","description":"\u003cp\u003eJames Bond, Ian Fleming's irrepressible and ubiquitous 'spy, ' is often understood as a Cold Warrior, but James Bond's Cold War diverged from the actual global conflict in subtle but significant ways.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThat tension between the real and fictional provides perspectives into Cold War culture transcending ideological and geopolitical divides. The Bondiverse is complex and multi-textual, including novels, films, video games, and even a comic strip, and has also inspired an array of homages, copies, and competitors. Awareness of its rich possibilities only becomes apparent through a multi-disciplinary lens.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe desire to consider current trends in Bondian studies inspired a conference entitled 'The Bondian Cold War, ' convened at Tallinn University, Estonia in June 2019. Conference participants, drawn from three continents and multiple disciplines - film studies, history, intelligence studies, and literature, as well as intelligence practitioners - offered papers on the literary and cinematic aspects of the 'spy', discussed fact versus fiction in the Bond canon, went in search of a global Bond, and pondered gender and sexuality across the Bondiverse.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume of essays inspired by that conference, suitable for students, researchers, and anyone interested in Cold War culture, makes vital contributions to understanding Bond as a global phenomenon, across traditional divisions of East and West, and beyond the end of the Cold War from which he emerged.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin D.
