W. Bush and George W. Bush. David Greven's contention is that a profound shift in representation occurred during the early 1990s when Hollywood was transformed by an explosion of films that foregrounded non-normative gendered identity and sexualities. In the years that have followed, popular cinema has either emulated or evaded the representational strategies of this era, especially in terms of gender and sexuality. One major focus of this study is that, in a great deal of the criticism in both the fields of film theory and queer theory, masochism has been positively cast as a form of male sexuality that resists the structures of normative power, while narcissism has been negatively cast as either a regressive sexuality or the bastion of white male privilege. Greven argues that narcissism is a potentially radical mode of male sexuality that can defy normative codes and categories of gender, whereas masochism, far from being radical, has emerged as the default mode of a traditional normative masculinity. This study combines approaches from a variety of disciplines?psychoanalysis, queer theory, American studies, men's studies, and film theory?as it offers fresh readings of several important films of the past twenty years, including Casualties of War, The Silence of the Lambs, Fight Club, The Passion of the Christ, Auto Focus, and Brokeback Mountain. 606 $aMasculinity in motion pictures 606 $aMen in motion pictures 606 $aMotion pictures$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMotion pictures$zUnited States$xHistory$y21st century 615 0$aMasculinity in motion pictures. 615 0$aMen in motion pictures. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory 676 $a791.43/6521 700 $aGreven$b David$01168107 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827840003321 996 $aManhood in Hollywood from Bush to Bush$94007395 997 $aUNINA
