Sommario/riassunto

Entre la rizicultrice d'Asie et l'ouvrier des vergers d'agrumes brésiliens, entre la paysanne du Pérou récoltant son quinoa et le producteur de coton du Burkina se dessinent d'étonnantes similitudes: l'âpreté du labeur, mais aussi la fierté d'un métier aux sources de la vie. Un métier menacé par les profonds bouleversements des sociétés et l'industrialisation de l'agriculture. Dans notre monde de demain, le paysan aura-t-il encore sa place?

Sommario/riassunto

Certain Hollywood movies are now so deeply woven into the cultural fabric that lines of their dialogue - for example, 'Make him an offer he can't refuse' - have been incorporated into everyday discourse. The films explored in this book, which include The Godfather, Jaws, The Big Lebowski, Field of Dreams and The Village, have become important cultural myths, fascinating windows into the schisms, tensions, and problems of American culture. Hollywood Blockbusters: The Anthropology of Popular Movies uses anthropology to understand why



these movies have such enduring appeal in this age of fragmented audiences and ever-faster spin cycles. Exploring key anthropological issues from ritual, kinship, gift giving and totemism to literacy, stereotypes, boundaries and warfare, this fascinating book uncovers new insights into the significance of modern film classics for students of Film, Media, Anthropology and American Cultural Studies.
