More about the book

Exploring the interplay between society and cinematic violence, this book delves into how modern culture conceals the reality of violence while simultaneously celebrating it in film. Hansen-Miller analyzes narratives from the past century, revealing how these representations not only highlight the enduring nature of violence but also reshape our perceptions of its role in contemporary life. By drawing on various disciplines, the work offers a comprehensive understanding of the social implications of violence in cinema.
