It's not surprising that this stereotype has entered American popular culture, given the real-world conflicts between the United States and Middle Eastern countries, particularly since the oil embargo of the 1970s and continuing through the Iranian hostage crisis, the first and second Gulf Wars, and the ongoing struggle against al-Qaeda. But when one compares the "evil" Arab of popular culture to real Arab people, the stereotype falls apart. In this thought-provoking book, Tim Jon Semmerling further dismantles the "evil" Arab stereotype by showing how American cultural fears, which stem from challenges to our national ideologies and myths, have driven us to create the "evil" Arab Other. Semmerling bases his argument on close readings of six films (The Exorcist, Rollover, Black Sunday, Three Kings, Rules of Engagement, and South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut), as well as CNN's 9/11 documentary America Remembers. Looking at their narrative structures and visual tropes, he analyzes how the films portray Arabs as threatening to subvert American "truths" and mythic tales?and how the insecurity this engenders causes Americans to project evil character and intentions on Arab peoples, landscapes, and cultures. Semmerling also demonstrates how the "evil" Arab narrative has even crept into the documentary coverage of 9/11. Overall, Semmerling's probing analysis of America's Orientalist fears exposes how the "evil" Arab of American popular film is actually an illusion that reveals more about Americans than Arabs. 606 $aArabs in motion pictures 606 $aMotion pictures$zUnited States$xHistory 615 0$aArabs in motion pictures. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory. 676 $a791.43/6529927 700 $aSemmerling$b Tim Jon$f1961-$01518245 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777800603321 996 $a"Evil" Arabs in American popular film$93755684 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04423nam 2200685 a 450 001 9910778019903321 005 20221108102118.0 010 $a1-282-49377-9 010 $a9786612493775 010 $a0-7391-3175-3 035 $a(CKB)1000000000785898 035 $a(StDuBDS)AH23062214 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000777179 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12369952 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000777179 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10766706 035 $a(PQKB)10832463 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000142866 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12003491 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000142866 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10097576 035 $a(PQKB)11369333 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC467224 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL467224 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10353707 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL249377 035 $a(OCoLC)435630948 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000785898 100 $a20090106d2009 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aEcocritical explorations in literary and cultural studies$b[electronic resource] $efences, boundaries, and fields /$fPatrick D.

Murphy explores environmental literature and environmental cultural issues through both theoretical and applied criticism. He engages with the concepts of referentiality, simplicity, the nation state, and virtual reality in the first section of the book, and then goes on to interrogate these issues in contemporary environmental literature, both American and international. He concludes his argument with a discussion of the larger frames of family dynamics and un-natural disasters, such as hurricanes and global warming, ending with a chapter on the integration of scholarship and pedagogy in the classroom, with reference to his own teaching experiences. Murphy's study provides a wide ranging discussion of contemporary literature and cultural phenomena through the lens of ecological literary criticism, giving attention to both theoretical issues and applied critiques. In particular, he looks at popular literary genres, such as mystery and science fiction, as well as actual disasters and disaster scenarios. Ecocritical Explorations in Literary and Cultural Studies is a timely contribution to ecological literary criticism and an insightful look into how we represent our relationship with the environment. 606 $aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEcocriticism 606 $aEcology in literature 606 $aPhilosophy of nature in literature 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEcocriticism. 615 0$aEcology in literature. 615 0$aPhilosophy of nature in literature. 676 $a810.9/355 700 $aMurphy$b Patrick D.$f1951-$0291288 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778019903321 996 $aEcocritical explorations in literary and cultural studies$93867190 997 $aUNINA
