Superheroes, leadership and the war on terror -- Spies, paranoia, and torture -- Soldiers from World War II to Iraq -- New men? Rogues, race, and hegemony -- Lovers: men, women, and gender equality -- Losers, meritocracy and identification -- Conclusion.Kord and Krimmer investigate the most common male types - cops, killers, fathers, cowboys, superheroes, spies, soldiers, rogues, lovers, and losers - by tracing changing concepts of masculinity in popular Hollywood blockbusters from 1992 to 2008 - the Clinton and Bush eras - against a backdrop of contemporary political events, social developments, and popular American myths. Their in-depth analysis of over sixty films, from The Matrix and Iron Man to Pirates of the Caribbean and The Lord of the Rings, shows that movies, far from being mere entertainment, respond directly to today's social and political realities, from consumerism to "family values" to the War on Terror.CommunicationMotion pictures—United StatesSociologyMotion pictures—HistoryMotion pictures and televisionArtsMedia Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/412000American Cinema and TVhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/413010Gender Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35000Film Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/413070Screen Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/413000Artshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/416000Communication.Motion pictures—United States.Sociology.Motion pictures—History.Motion pictures and television.Arts.Media Studies.American Cinema and TV.Gender Studies.Film History.Screen Studies.Arts.791.43791.43653Kord Susanneauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut457709Krimmer Elisabethauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910778941003321Contemporary Hollywood Masculinities3850973UNINA
