Sean Connery's tuxedo, Ursula Andress' bikini, Oddjob's bowler
hat, and Q's gadgets are just a few defining features of the 007
world examined in "The James Bond Phenomenon." Drawn from the
fields of literary, film, music, and cultural studies, the essays
in this collection range from revitalized readings of Ian Fleming's
original spy novels to the analysis of Pussy Galore's lesbianism,
Miss Moneypenny's filmic feminism, and Pierce Brosnan's
techno-fetishism. Together, the essays not only consider the James
Bond novels and films in relation to their historical, political,
and social contexts from the Cold War period onwards, but also
examine the classic Bond canon from an array of theoretical
perspectives.
This updated and expanded edition features new essays on a range
of hot topics, including Daniel Craig's debut as Bond, Playboy
magazine's obsession with the 007 lifestyle, Bond's erotic
Orientalism, and the rise of 007 video gaming.
