"Revisioning 007" is a lively collection of new essays on the
reinvention of James Bond in the 2006 film Casino Royale, starring
Daniel Craig in his first appearance as Agent 007. Treating Casino
Royale as a case study in popular film culture and as a significant
turning point in the 007 series, the book offers innovative
readings of the film and its inte-rrelations with the Bond
franchise, the culture industry and recent developments in cinema,
society and world politics. Essay topics range from the analysis of
007's masochism, voyeurism and hyper-mobility, to the examination
of the film's testicular torture scene, the links between
international politics and high-stakes gambling and the changing
role of the secret agent in a post-9/11 world order.
