Transcultural Images in Hollywood Cinema discusses how cinema,
particularly Hollywood, impacts the cultural identities we
construct for ourselves in order to make sense of who we are in the
world. The politics of representation in cinema influence the
boundaries of ethnic and racial characteristics and invent cultural
and symbolic meanings that create a conventional image throughout
the world. The transnational perspective, dissolves, fragments, and
decentralizes this image, leaving the nationalist understanding of
identity to a hybrid form. Cultures and identities that are
expanded across borders form a mosaic by combining their local
characteristics with those of the host cultures. This book examines
the transnational and transcultural characteristics of Hollywood
cinema. The narrative, cinematographic, and aesthetic structures of
Hollywood cinema are turned upside down as chapters analyze gender,
social, cultural, and economic-political contexts. Scholars of
international communication, film, and social sciences will find
this book particularly interesting.
