A World in Chaos: Social Crisis and the Rise of Postmodern Cinema
traces the evolution of postmodern cinema through its multiple and
overlapping expressions. Through an analysis of films such as
American Beauty, Blade Runner, Natural Born Killers, and Thelma and
Loiuse, Carl Boggs and Thomas Pollard explore the historical and
theoretical shift from the long era of modernity to an emergent
postmodernity and examine its intersection with film culture.
Unlike most works on media studies, Boggs and Pollard bring
together elements of sociology, history, economics, literature,
communications, and pop culture to fully explore the complex
developmental interaction between film and society. The resulting
work illuminates the different, often conflicted and contradictory,
currents at work in the film industry that long ago departed from
the ritualized practices of the classical studio system. Engagingly
and clearly written, A World in Chaos is perfect for film and pop
culture enthusiasts as well as everyone interested in the role of
film in American society.
