This 1997 book explores the political significance of aesthetic
analysis in the context of cultural studies. It applies the
theories of Adorno, Derrida, and Lacan to film studies, and asks
how political responsibility can be reconciled with the concept of
the university as a democratic institution. Art and the university,
Patrick McGee claims, share a common feature: they are commonly
regarded as autonomous realms that resist the determination of
economic and political interests, while still playing a crucial
role in ethical and political discourse. Through detailed reference
to Neil Jordan's film The Crying Game, McGee shows how film can be
both a product and a critique of the culture industry. He goes on
to analyse the function of the university in producing
interpretations of such highly political art forms and in
determining the limits of critical discussion. McGee links Adorno
with Derrida to provide a new route through cultural studies and
the claims of political criticism.
