"Filmspeak" is an accessible, innovative book which uses specific
examples to show how once arcane literary and cultural theory has
infiltrated popular culture. Theory reaches us in ways we do not
even realize. Issues such as the nature of knowledge or truth, the
function of personal response in interpretation, the nature of the
forces of politics, the female alternative to the male view of the
world, are fundamental for all of us. And intelligent analysis of
the relationship between literary theory and popular culture can
help us to understand our fast-changing world.Here, experienced
literary scholar and teacher Edward L. Tomarken explains how it is
possible to study the rudiments of literary theory by watching and
analyzing contemporary mainstream movies - from "The Dark Knight"
to "Kill Bill," and from "The Social Network" to "The Devil Wears
Prada." Theorists discussed include Foucault, Jameson, Iser, and
Cixous. Tomarken brilliantly demonstrates that anyone can grasp
modern literary theory by way of mainstream movies without having
to wade through stacks of impenetrable jargon.
