    Landscape and the Environment in Hollywood Film

    The Green Machine
    Ellen E. Moore
    978-3-319-56411-1
    2017
    Edition 1
    • An active and compelling scholarly effort to carve out a clear space for environmental concern in cultural studies
    • Examination of the intersection of the environment and media remains an understudied area to date, and while this book engages with similar topics and themes in previously-published work, currently there is no existing scholarship that uses genre as a systematic, comparative method and theoretical frame to examine filmic portrayals of the environment
    • Offers a fresh and updated academic work on Hollywood’s portrayal of contemporary environmental issues by including many recent Hollywood texts (including global blockbusters like Disney’s Frozen)
    • Firmly located within a cultural studies perspective, Moore’s examination reveals that Hollywood consistently flattens environmental messages in order to quell viewers’ concerns, encouraging inaction instead of action – a trend that is both unsurprising given the profit-driven nature of conglomerates and also striking given the increasingly dire environmental news around the globe
    • Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
