This exciting collection addresses action and adventure from the silent
to the contemporary period exploring diverse questions of aesthetics,
industry and ideology. Action has established itself as one of the
leading commercial genres of the New Hollywood cinema, generating
extensive debate in the process.
Contributors consider how action
might best be defined, how it has developed historically, and how it
works formally. The critical reception and standing of action and
adventure cinema is considered in relation to questions of national
culture, violence and the 'art' of cinema.
