Neo-noir plots are both familiar and diverse, found in a host of media formats today, and now span the globe. Yet despite its apparent prevalence-and increased academic attention-many core questions remain unanswered. What has propelled noir's appeal, half a century on after its supposed decline? What has led film-makers and series-creators to rework given tropes? What debates continue to divide critics? And why are we, as viewers, so drawn to stories that often show us at our worst? Referencing a range of films and series, citing critical work in the field-while also challenging many of the assumptions made-this book sets out to advance our understanding of a subject that has fascinated audiences and academics alike. Theories relating to gender identity and neo-noir's tricky generic status are discussed, together with an evaluation of differing comic inflections and socio-political concerns, concluding that, although neo-noir is capable of being both progressive and reactionary, it also mobilises potentially radical questions about who we are and what we might be capable of. 606 $aFilm genres 606 $aSex 606 $aGenre Studies 606 $aGender Studies 615 0$aFilm genres. 615 0$aSex. 615 14$aGenre Studies. 615 24$aGender Studies. 676 $a791.436 676 $a791.4365 700 $aShort$b Sue$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01226567 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910485050703321 996 $aDarkness Calls$92847971 997 $aUNINA
