Loving Hating Hollywood: Reframing Global and Local Cinemas
No Customer Reviews
As the paradigm by which most other cinemas define themselves and are judged, Hollywood is thought to determine the shape of all national and local cinemas. But is Hollywood really such a homogenous and homogenizing monolith? Jane Mills challenges the widespread notion of a Hollywood bounded and fixed at the center of a stable cultural landscape, to propose a new way of understanding inter-cinematic relationships. Placing her close readings of films within the framework of globalizing processes she shows the cultural flows between cinemas are more fluid and their borders are more porous than commonly assumed. Loving and Hating Hollywood puts globalization firmly on the agenda for cinema studies. It challenges filmmakers, critics, and audiences to see the film world afresh and to recognize the power of dissident imagination wherever its geographical homeland may be.
