Amanda Howell

Popular Film Music and Masculinity in Action

A Different Tune

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Drawing on scholarship of popular music and the pop score as well as feminist film and media studies, Howell addresses an often neglected area of gender representation. Through her analyses of the musical construction of contemporary screen masculinity in action and other genres that share its investment in violence, she reveals the mechanisms by which the pop score has helped to reinvent gendered fictions of male empowerment for new generations.
