4.9/5 (28117 ratings)

Description:The work of Karl Marx has a revered place in the realms of social philosophy, political science and literary criticism but there is a place where Marxism seems not to have penetrated. This place is the study of popular culture, especially the cinema, where Marxism easily provides a very useful lens through which seemingly disparate films can be explored. As a body, the new essays assembled here approach a wide cross-section of cinematic history and provide analysis of blockbusters, cult hits, comedies, suspenseful dramas and history-making films within a framework of power, power relations and class struggle. The book seeks to bring to popular culture studies the same scholarly weight that attends the work of Aristotle or Plato or Derrida and, at the same time, to present that scholarship in a readable, even enjoyable, style.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
