This is noted in recent research on the heroic, but it has been largely ignored that heroism is increasingly a global phenomenon both in terms of production and consumption. This edited collection aims to bridge this research void and brings together case studies by scholars from different parts of the world and diverse fields. They explore how transnational and transcultural processes of translation and adaptation shape notions of the heroic in non-Western and Western cultures alike. The book provides fresh perspectives on heroism studies and offers a new angle for global and postcolonial studies.Routledge studies in cultural history.Heroes in mass mediaHeroes in popular cultureHeroes in motion picturesCourage in mass mediaCourage in popular cultureCourage in motion picturesHeroes in mass media.Heroes in popular culture.Heroes in motion pictures.Courage in mass media.Courage in popular culture.Courage in motion pictures.302.2308Korte Barbara1957-Wendt SimonFalkenhayner Nicole1976-OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910758490603321Heroism as a global phenomenon in contemporary culture3599102UNINA
