Drawing on both classic and contemporary film examples, the book also offers a quasihistory of film genres, including science fiction, the western, film noir, and screwball comedy, emphasizing how these genres have been shaken up, recontextualized, recombined, turned self-reflexive, and parodied over the past couple of decades. Taken together, these satirical parodies of screenplays and blogs reveal and perform how our very gaze has shifted from modern to postmodern, from a direct view of the world to a filtered one.SUNY series in postmodern culture.Motion picturesUnited StatesMotion picturesSocial aspectsUnited StatesMotion picturesPolitical aspectsUnited StatesMotion picturesMotion picturesSocial aspectsMotion picturesPolitical aspects791.430973/09051Natoli Joseph P.1943-265641MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910964532103321This is a picture and not the world4368895UNINA
