This book maps father failure and redemption through three decades
of Hollywood family films, revealing how libertarian notions that
align agency with autonomy lead to new conflicts for the
contemporary father. The films find resolution to these conflicts
through a re-gendering of parenting as relationship. In their
creation of a 'pure' fatherhood that is valorised as authentic for
its lack of parental responsibilities, the films serve to challenge
the perception that fathering enacted outside the nuclear family
structure is fragile. McNulty Norton finds in the films a new
essentialism that secures the pure relationship to the biological
father, reinforcing his position in the face of changing family
forms.
