About this product
Product Information
Global James Bond: (Re) Imagining and Transplanting a Popular Culture Icon focuses on the ambivalent yet fascinating interplay between the global and the local in the longest running film franchise in history. It explores how James Bond established itself as a global standard for action-spy film making and even as a minor global cinema (i.e. imagining), and hot the franchise subsequently inspired a series of genre bending, blending, and breaking in local visual and some literary contexts (i.e. reimagining and transplanting). The chapters in this collection consider how the world is envisaged in the official series and subsequently reinterpreted on local and regional levels and how investments with alternative meanings might run counter to the dominant representational and geo-political logics of the novels and filmic texts. Global James Bond is a starting point for further conversation and exchange over an extraordinary film franchise.

Reviews
A delectable dossier deftly addressing the global dissemination of James Bond, this collection makes a major argument that the Bond franchise is more than merely a minor global cinema. Tracking Bond through an itinerary teeming with unexpected stops, Global James Bond pays visits to Mexico, South India, Hong Kong and Cuba, amongst other locales, to (re)imagine local receptions and (re)readings of the globetrotting spy over the past half century. It is sure to please cosmopolitan Bond aficionados in its focus on the interplay of the global and local., Global James Bond tracks an exchange that knows few borders--a relay between Bond media and various social-political and aesthetic contexts which receive, absorb, mimic, alter, pillage, and subvert Bond, reinforcing 007's status as a mobile signifier of truly global reach. What's especially refreshing about this collection is that its authors by turns center and decenter the iconic film series, turning critical attention not just to the world as official Bond texts depict (and warp) it, but to the curious trajectories the figure of Bond has taken in unofficial texts produced in Mexico, India, Hong Kong, and Japan. The message is clear: Bond contains a world of meaning, in the literal sense of the term., Lisa Funnell and Klaus Dodds' collection orients Bond scholarship away from the loci of Britain - and, thus, away from the manifold considerations of Bond's complex identity matrix as a "British" icon - towards a more trans-global approach to Bond's historical legacy, demonstrating persuasively the need to expand the frontiers of James Bond Studies and to engage with the implications of Bond's "global-ness" as a new critical framework.

Book did not match listing photo (pic2) The listings only photograph was of an autograph page (pic 1) which means this seller did not photograph the actual item being sold. The seller had to be contacted twice to get a full refund. The shipping cost was very expensive and item was poorly packaged. I have been buying items from ebay for many years and this is the first time I have delt with a seller whose listing was so blatantly dishonest. Buyers beware!
