In Cinematic Political Thought, Michael J. Shapiro investigates
aspects of contemporary politics and articulates a critical
philosophical perspective with politically disposed treatments of
contemporary cinema. Reading such films as "Hoop Dreams, Lone Star,
Father of the Bride II "and "To Live and Die in LA "through the
lens of Deleuze, Derrida, Foucault and Lyotard, Shapiro
demonstrates what it can mean to think the political both in terms
of cinema studies and in wider aesthetic and social contexts.
Cinematic Political Thought is a polemical work, aimed at
encouraging critical, ethical and political thinking. Its breadth
of theoretical scope and empirical reference, and the innovative
style of presentation will make it vital reading for anyone with an
interest in the conjunction of culture and politics.
