{"product_id":"walls-without-cinema-larrie-dudenhoeffer-9781501370977","title":"Walls Without Cinema: State Security and Subjective Embodiment in Twenty-First-Century US Filmmaking","description":"This volume closely examines the near-ubiquitous images of state security walls, domes, and other such defense enclosures flashing across movie screens since 2006, the year of the ratification of George W. Bush's Secure Fence Act. This study shows that many of the films of this era enable us to imaginatively test the effects of these security mechanisms on citizens, immigrants, refugees, and other sovereign states, challenging our commitment to constructing them, maintaining them, staffing them, and subsidizing their enormous overheads.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith case studies ranging from \u003ci\u003eAtomic Blonde\u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eReady Player One\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eBlack Panther\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eElysium;\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eWalls without Cinema\u003c\/i\u003eserves as a timely counterpoint to the xenophobic rhetoric and abusive, carceral security conditions that characterize the Trump administration's management of the Mexico-U.S. border situation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Larrie Dudenhoeffer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501370979\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501370977\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 05\/19\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.53d","brand":"Larrie Dudenhoeffer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47200757743871,"sku":"9781501370977","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2d647309-fc08-4b45-ab76-c84dd3d5b45f.jpg?v=1756787776","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/walls-without-cinema-larrie-dudenhoeffer-9781501370977","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
