{"product_id":"the-subject-of-film-and-gerald-sim-9781623567538","title":"The Subject of Film and Race: Retheorizing Politics, Ideology, and Cinema","description":"\u003ci\u003eThe Subject of Film and Race\u003c\/i\u003eis the first comprehensive intervention into how film critics and scholars have sought to understand cinema's relationship to racial ideology. In attempting to do more than merely identify harmful stereotypes, research on 'films and race' appropriates ideas from post-structuralist theory. But on those platforms, the field takes intellectual and political positions that place its anti-racist efforts at an impasse. While presenting theoretical ideas in an accessible way, Gerald Sim's historical materialist approach uniquely triangulates well-known work by Edward Said with the Neo-Marxian writing about film by Theodor Adorno and Fredric Jameson. \u003ci\u003eThe Subject of Film and Race\u003c\/i\u003e takes on topics such as identity politics, multiculturalism, multiracial discourse, and cyborg theory, to force film and media studies into rethinking their approach, specifically towards humanism and critical subjectivity. The book illustrates theoretical discussions with a diverse set of familiar films by John Ford, Michael Mann, Todd Solondz, Quentin Tarantino, Keanu Reeves, and others, to show that we must always be aware of capitalist history when thinking about race, ethnicity, and films.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gerald Sim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 162356753X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781623567538\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 07\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.80d","brand":"Gerald Sim","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072488796415,"sku":"9781623567538","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f3c8056f-34fb-4191-b301-1a1154143b67.jpg?v=1685442274","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-subject-of-film-and-gerald-sim-9781623567538","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
