The films explored in this book, which include The Godfather, Jaws, The Big Lebowski, Field of Dreams and The Village, have become important cultural myths, fascinating windows into the schisms, tensions, and problems of American culture. Hollywood Blockbusters: The Anthropology of Popular Movies uses anthropology to understand why these movies have such enduring appeal in this age of fragmented audiences and ever-faster spin cycles. Exploring key anthropological issues from ritual, kinship, gift giving and totemism to literacy, stereotypes, boundaries and warfare, this fascinating book uncovers new insights into the significance of modern film classics for students of Film, Media, Anthropology and American Cultural Studies. 606 $aMotion pictures$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aCulture in motion pictures 606 $aPopular culture$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aMotion pictures$xSocial aspects 615 0$aCulture in motion pictures. 615 0$aPopular culture$xHistory 676 $a302.23/43 676 $a302.23430973 700 $aSutton$b David E$g(David Evan),$064524 702 $aWogan$b Peter 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962559103321 996 $aHollywood blockbusters$94486463 997 $aUNINA
