In cinema studies today, rarely do we find a direct investigation
into the culture of capitalism and how it has been refracted and
fabricated in global cinema production under neoliberalism.
However, the current economic crisis and the subsequent Wall Street
bailout in 2008 have brought about a worldwide skepticism regarding
the last four decades of economic restructuring and the culture
that has accompanied it. In this edited volume, an international
ensemble of scholars looks at neoliberalism, both as culture and
political economy, in the various cinemas of the world. In essays
encompassing the cinemas of Asia, Africa, Latin America, Europe,
and the United States the authors outline how the culture and
subjectivities engendered by neoliberalism have been variously
performed, contested, and reinforced in these cinemas. The premise
of this book is that the cultural and economic logic of
neoliberalism, i.e., the radical financialization and market-driven
calculations, of all facets of society are symptoms best understood
by Marxist theory and its analysis of the central antagonisms and
contradictions of capital. Taking a variety of approaches, ranging
from political economy, ideological critique, the intersection of
aesthetics and politics, social history and critical-cultural
theory, this volume offers a fresh, broad-based Marxist analysis of
contemporary film/media. Topics include: the global albeit
antagonistic nature of neoliberal culture; the search for a new
aesthetic and documentary language; the contestation between labor
and capital in cultural producion; the political economy of
hollywood, and questions of gender, sexuality, and the nation state
in relation to neoliberalism.
