This collection of essays asks to what degree can a close critical analysis of films, that is, reading them against their own ideological grain, reveal contradictions and tensions in Hollywood’s task of erecting normative cultural standards? How do some films perhaps knowingly undermine their inherent ideology by opening a field of conflicting and competing intersecting identities? The challenge set out in this volume is to revisit well-known films in search for a narrative not exclusively constituted by the Hollywood formula and to answer the questions: What lies beyond the frame? What elements contradict a film’s sustained illusion of a normative world? Where do films betray their own ideology and most importantly what intersectional spaces of identity do they reveal or conceal?Identity (Psychology) in motion picturesRace in motion picturesMotion picturesUnited StatesHistoryIntersectionality (Sociology)United StatesHollywood, race, identity, intersectionality, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, nationality, cinema, movies, film, camera, video, aesthetics, ideology, film analysis, United States cinema, American cinema, Hollywood formula, representation.Identity (Psychology) in motion pictures.Race in motion pictures.Motion picturesHistory.Intersectionality (Sociology)791.43653Konzett Delia Malia Caparoso1237724Konzett Delia Maria CaparosoMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910817699403321Hollywood at the intersection of race and identity4003952UNINA
