The Persistence of Hollywood

Más información sobre el libro

The book examines the evolving study of Hollywood's enduring success over nearly a century, highlighting Thomas Elsaesser's influential research since the 1960s. It traces his critical insights from auteurism and cinephilia to contemporary analyses of corporate authorship, particularly in the works of James Cameron. Elsaesser's contributions have reshaped film studies by addressing narrative, genre, desire, ideology, and the economic-technological framework of Hollywood within the context of global capitalism.
