Avengers Assemble! – Critical Perspectives on the Marvel Cinematic Universe de Terence McSweeney

Avengers Assemble! – Critical Perspectives on the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Autor Terence McSweeney
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 mai 2018
Beginning with Iron Man in 2008, this study provocatively explores both the cinematic and the televisual branches of the series across ten dynamic and original chapters from a diverse range of critical perspectives which analyse their status as an embodiment of the changing industrial practices of the blockbuster film and their symbolic potency as affective cultural artifacts that are profoundly immersed in the turbulent political climate of their era.
