Beskrivning
Transcultural Images in Hollywood Cinema discusses how cinema, particularly Hollywood, impacts the cultural identities we construct for ourselves in order to make sense of who we are in the world. The politics of representation in cinema influence the boundaries of ethnic and racial characteristics and invent cultural and symbolic meanings that create a conventional image throughout the world. The transnational perspective, dissolves, fragments, and decentralizes this image, leaving the nationalist understanding of identity to a hybrid form. Cultures and identities that are expanded across borders form a mosaic by combining their local characteristics with those of the host cultures. This book examines the transnational and transcultural characteristics of Hollywood cinema. The narrative, cinematographic, and aesthetic structures of Hollywood cinema are turned upside down as chapters analyze gender, social, cultural, and economic-political contexts. Scholars of international communication, film, and social sciences will find this book particularly interesting.

We live in an age of migration. All of us are migrants, or one day will be. Globalization has made the heterogeneity of the world's cultures more apparent than ever. In Hollywood movies, we constantly encounter the tales of migrants in different countries, the problems of identity they face, and various other aspects of globalization. The center today may well become the periphery tomorrow. Like the characters in the film Children of Men, we struggle amidst the chaos, yet we continue to hope. Baloglu and Birincioglu have brought together a group of authors and essays that analyze the economic and political implications of these exciting films and explore the heterogenous tales they tell. Audiences who enjoyed these films will love reading the essays on them in this volume.
