I historicize how terrorism emerged to become a privileged concept in the representation of Hollywood cinema and how hegemonic counterterrorism discourses of the Middle East are encoded in film aesthetics and narrative in the process of U.S. motion picture production. The account of the dissertation delineates how the Hollywood simulacrum of Middle East terrorism is a site for cultural, racial and religious conflict pertaining to mediated representations of political and religious violence. The economic policies and wars of such a social order have become naturalized and all-pervasive in the Hollywood action film genre. | | Subject | : | Communication and the arts; Action films; Arabs; Counterterrorism; Hollywood; Middle East; Muslims; Protest; Violence; Communication; Film studies; 0900:Film studies; 0459:Communication | | Added Entry | : | A.
