Imperial Affects is the first sustained account of American
action-based cinema as melodrama. From the earliest war films
through the Hollywood Western and
the late-century action cinema, imperialist violence
and mobility have been produced as sites of both visceral pleasure
and moral virtue. Suffering and omnipotence operate as twinned
affects in this context, inviting identification with an American
national subject constituted as both victimized and invincible—a
powerful and persistent conjunction traced here across a century of
cinema.
