Positioned in counterpoint to the Western, the famed cowboy genre of the American frontier, the “Eastern” encompasses films that depict the eastern and southern frontiers of Euro-American expansion. Examining six films in particular—.Gunga Din. (1939), .Lawrence of Arabia .(1962), .Heat and Dust .(1983), .A Passage to India. (1984), Indochine (1992), and .The English Patient .(1996)—the author explores the duality of the "Eastern" as both aggressive and seductive, depicting conquest and romance at the same time. In juxtaposing these two elements, the book seeks to reveal the double process by which the “Eastern” both diminishes the "East" and Global South and reinforces ignorance about these regions’ histories and complexity, thereby setting the stage for ever-escalating political aggression. . | | 出版日期 | Book 2020 | | 关键词 | Hollywood Eastern; Colonial Gaze; Colonization and Film; Decolonization and Film; Global Hollywood; Gunga | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-60994-8 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-60996-2 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-60994-8 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
