Policing the World on Screen

American Mythologies and Hollywood's Rogue Crimefighters

Marilyn Yaquinto

978-3-030-24805-5

2019
Edition 1
- Focuses on a recurring Hollywood narrative that showcases a rugged individual, usually a white, male with few ties to family but a profound connection to freedom
- Looks at how and why the archetype was born and what the archetype’s endurance reveals about the American mindset, from the nation’s ascendency through its continuing struggle to remain an effective and preeminent global superpower
- Draws attention to the mutual reinforcement of cultural products and American political discourse that either advocate or critique a similar “rogue” mentality
- Establishes a working model that unpacks the key identity factors and moral imperative at the core of American crimefighter narratives, which will serve as an effective analytical framework to apply to future screen stories
