Description
Beginning with Casino Royale (2006) and ending with No Time to Die (2021), the Daniel Craig era of James Bond films coincides with the rise of various justice movements challenging deeply entrenched systems of inequality and oppression. These movements range from sexism, racism, and immigration to 2SLGBTQIA+ rights, reproductive justice, and climate change.
While the focus is often placed on individual actions and institutional policies and practices, it is important to recognize the role that culture plays within these systems. Mainstream film is not simply 'mindless' entertainment but a key part of a global cultural industry that naturalises and normalises power structures.
Engaging with these issues, Resisting James Bond is a multidisciplinary collection that explores inequality and oppression in the world of 007 through a range of critical and theoretical approaches. The chapters explore the embodiment and disembodiment of power and privilege across the formal, narrative, cultural, and geopolitical elements that define the revisionist-reversionist world of Daniel Craig’s Bond.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
The book is praised as an urgent and comprehensive scholarly work on the Daniel Craig era of James Bond. Ian Kinane highlights its original and inventive approach across five films, while Monica Germanà commends its thought-provoking interrogation of mainstream cinema's role in representing social injustice. The interdisciplinary essays provide a deep reassessment of Bond in the context of global social and political unrest.
