About this product
Product Information
In contemporary society, cinema has become a primary way in which people gain knowledge about events taking place in the world. Films often go beyond news reports by showing in-depth, behind-the-scenes footage, whether in a documentary or recreated in fictional features. More than fleeting scenes of events shown on the nightly news, a film can influence people's feelings about war and what our political leaders should do about it. This has certainly been the case since the attack on 9/11 and the subsequent incursions into Iraq and Afghanistan. In Post-9/11 Cinema: Through a Lens Darkly, John Markert takes a close look at the films depicting these events. Covering cinematic portrayals of 9/11 and the attacks that followed, this book examines both dramas and documentaries that depict what some have termed "Bush's war," as well as rebuttal films, films about terrorist activities, and films seen from the vantage point of journalists and military personnel. Post-9/11 Cinema not only shows how motion pictures reflect societal values but also how such works can influence social attitudes and thus promote change. In addition, Markert appraises the film industry and critiques how images are manipulated to sway the viewer to appreciate the side being advocated. Examining such dramas as The Messenger, Stop-Loss, The Lucky Ones, In the Valley of Elah, and The Hurt Locker, as well as documentaries including Fahrenheit 9/11, Soldiers of Conscience, and Taxi to the Dark Side, Post-9/11 Cinema is a valuable read for professors of media and mass communication, popular culture, and film studies, as well as cultural sociologists.

Films can both reflect and shape social values. Markert (sociology, Cumberland Univ.) examines over 200 films depicting American concerns after the 9/11 attacks. In the first few years, films tended to focus on the attacks themselves and on America's enemies. By 2004, post 9/11 films "both dramatic and documentary "looked at the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as well, and were more critical of American actions abroad and Bush administration policies. Working from his sociological approach, Markert also provides an overview of American films since World War II that have been related to issues of war and security. This volume does not focus specifically on the details of 9/11 itself, but will be of interest to readers interested in cultural, communication, or film studies., Films can both reflect and shape social values. Markert (sociology, Cumberland Univ.) examines over 200 films depicting American concerns after the 9/11 attacks. In the first few years, films tended to focus on the attacks themselves and on America's enemies. By 2004, post 9/11 films--both dramatic and documentary--looked at the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as well, and were more critical of American actions abroad and Bush administration policies. Working from his sociological approach, Markert also provides an overview of American films since World War II that have been related to issues of war and security. This volume does not focus specifically on the details of 9/11 itself, but will be of interest to readers interested in cultural, communication, or film studies., Sociologist Markert (Cumberland Univ.) examines 210 feature-length films and documentaries depicting 9/11 and the subsequent military interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq. He divides these films into three categories: dealing with the enemy; depicting 9/11 events; and, the largest category, the war on the ground. Markert begins with a discussion of reflection/refraction theories exploring the extent to which film both mirrors and shapes societal values and attitudes. Next comes a dialectical film analysis focusing on three time periods: early post-9/11 films appearing between 2001 and 2004, which are primarily concerned with demonizing the enemy and commemorating the heroics of the victims and those rendering assistance; a transitional period between 2004 and 2005, when films began providing an alternative interpretation of the war; and finally, post-2006 films, of which the vast majority provide a darker, more critical, nuanced analysis of US involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan. While it is difficult to argue that films changed social attitudes, Markert demonstrates how films, especially documentaries, contributed to the public debate by maintaining interest and providing a dissenting perspective that eventually countered the war on terror and weapons of mass destruction rhetoric of the Bush administration. A welcome addition to mass media, film studies, and cultural sociology collections. Summing Up: Recommended. All levels/libraries.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
