This Side of Despair

Angebote / Angebote:

Depression-era films uncover a collective consciousness and a collective unconsciousness over the effects the Depression was having on the American psyche. The power of the Depression to throw into question traditional institutions and behaviors in direct and indirect ways finds its way into the films of the period. Depression-era movies exist as a particular kind of record of the crisis and its effects on such diverse social elements as gender roles, racial constructions, the rise in the thirties of isolationism, escapist dreams of the period, and anxieties over the nature of capitalism itself. This book studies thirties films as a unique and sometimes camouflaged record of the great crisis. In no other period do films engage with the nation's sheer economic anxiety.
