Transfigurations brings our cultural obsession with film violence into a renewed dialogue with contemporary theory. Grønstad argues that the use of violence in Hollywood films should be understood semiotically rather than viewed realistically; Tranfigurations thus alters both our methodology of reading violence in films and the meanings we assign to them, depicting violence not as a self-contained incident, but as a convoluted network of our own cultural ideologies and beliefs.Film Culture in TransitionViolence in motion picturesAmericaDeath in motion picturesMasculinity in motion picturesAmericaMotion pictures, Americanwomen: historical, geographic, persons treatmentculture and institutenculture and institutionsmotion picturesvrouwenstudiesfilmViolence in motion picturesDeath in motion pictures.Masculinity in motion picturesMotion pictures, American.791.436552Grønstad Asbjørn800803AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELUkMaJRUBOOK9910139802203321Transfigurations1802101UNINA
