Across a broad range of subgenres-including disaster melodrama, monster movies, postapocalyptic science fiction, discovered footage and home invasion horror, action-thrillers, and frontier westerns-author Glen Donnar examines the impact of "terror-Others," from Arab terrorists to giant monsters, especially in relation to cinematic representations in earlier periods of national turmoil. Donnar demonstrates that the reassertion of masculinity and American national identity in post-9/11 cinema repeatedly unravels across genres. Taking up critical arguments about Hollywood's attempts to resolve male crisis through Orientalizing figures of terror, he shows how this failure reflects an inability to effectively extinguish the threat or frightening difference of terror. The heroes in these movies are unable to heal themselves or restore order, often becoming as destructive as the threats they are supposed to be fighting. Donnar concludes that interrelated anxieties about masculinity and nationhood continue to affect contemporary American cinema and politics. By showing how persistent these cultural fears are, the volume offers an important counternarrative to this supposedly unprecedented moment in American history"-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "A challenge to claims about the popular project of masculine redemption in recent genre films"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 217-230), filmography (pages 213-216), and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: remasculinizing American cinema post-9/11 -- "Shielding us from what we are not yet ready to see": the uniformed hero as victim and in masquerade -- "I don't know why this is happening": shamed Everymen and America's own unknowable monsters -- "I can still fix this": restoring protective masculinity and/but becoming a monstrous savior -- "A variation of vengeance": the inadequacy of revenge in remasculinizing the nation abroad -- Conclusion: "how do you love your family and leave them to go to war?" -- Notes -- Filmography -- Works cited -- Index. 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 650 0 $a Masculinity in motion pictures. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002007718 650 0 $a Motion pictures and men. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99010358 650 0 $a Motion pictures, American $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Masculinity in motion pictures. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1011041 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1011041 650 7 $a Motion pictures, American. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1027478 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1027478 650 7 $a Motion pictures and men. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1027415 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1027415 776 08 $i Online version: $a Donnar, Glen. $t Troubling masculinities. $d Jackson : University Press of Mississippi, 2020 $z 9781496828590 $w (DLC) 2020011870 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317023705.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CB9CDD74323411EC8B1165C359ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
