The wraps are in fine condition. 8 ½ x 5 ½, 242 pages, 14 ounces XX [From the back cover] The first in-depth study of one of Marvel's most successful and culturally impactful films. This study signals a careful consideration of a significant cultural moment and happily delivers from the opening pages. For fans of Marvel's Black Panther, this book provides a detailed review of the volumes written about the film. Those concerned with the cultural meaning of that groundbreaking movie will find an insightful consideration of how and why it has engaged audiences worldwide. While we are quick to dismiss superhero blockbusters, McSweeney provides a framework to understand how this film transcends expectations by engaging with more profound arguments represented by Black Panther. If you are looking for a clear picture of why Black Panther was and continues to be so central to popular imagination, this book is for you (Julian C. Chambliss, coeditor of Assembling the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Essays on the Social, Cultural and Geopolitical Domains). XX Black Panther is one of the most financially successful and defining films to emerge from the American film industry in recent years. In Black Panther: Interrogating a Cultural Phenomenon, author Terence McSweeney explores the film from a diverse range of perspectives, seeing it as not only a comic book adaptation and a superhero film, but also a dynamic contribution to the discourse of both African and African American studies. The narratives within Marvel Cinematic Universe (2008?) have almost exclusively perpetuated largely unambiguous fantasies of American heroism and exceptionalism. In contrast, Black Panther complicates this by engaging in an entirely different mythos in its portrayal of an African nation, never colonized by Europe, as the most powerful and technologically advanced in the world. McSweeney charts how and why Black Panther became a cultural phenomenon and also a battleground on which a war of meaning was waged at a very particular time in American history. XX Terence McSweeney is senior lecturer in film and television studies at Solent University. He is author of The War on Terror and American Film: 9/11 Frames Per Second; Avengers Assemble! Critical Perspectives on the Marvel Cinematic Universe; and The Contemporary Superhero Film: Projections of Power and Identity.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Audiences around the globe continue to flock to see the latest releases from Marvel and DC studios, making it clear that superhero films resonate with the largest global audience that Hollywood has ever reached. Yet despite dominating theater screens like never before, the superhero genre remains critically marginalized-ignored at best and more often actively maligned.Terence McSweeney examines this global phenomenon, providing a concise and up-to-date overview of the superhero genre. He lays out its narrative codes and conventions, exploring why it appeals to diverse audiences and what it has to say about the world in the first two decades of the twenty-first century. Unpacking the social, ideological, and cultural content of superhero films, he argues that the genre should be considered a barometer of contemporary social anxieties and a reflection of cultural values. McSweeney scrutinizes representations of gender, race, and sexuality as well as how the genre's conventions relate to and comment on contemporary political debates. Beyond American contributions to the genre, the book also features extensive analysis of superhero films from all over the world, contrasting them with the dominant U.S. model.The book's presentation of a range of case studies and critical debates is accessible and engaging for students, scholars, and enthusiasts at all levels.…
