Product Details
This book develops the idea of the "Eastern" as an analytically significant genre of film. Positioned in counterpoint to the Western, the famed cowboy genre of the American frontier, the Eastern encompasses films that depict the eastern and southern frontiers of Euro-American expansion. Examining six films in particularGunga Din (1939), Lawrence of Arabia (1962), Heat and Dust (1983), A Passage to India (1984), Indochine (1992), and The English Patient (1996)the author explores the duality of the "Eastern" as both aggressive and seductive, depicting conquest and romance at the same time. In juxtaposing these two elements, the book seeks to reveal the double process by which the Eastern both diminishes the "East" and Global South and reinforces ignorance about these regions histories and complexity, thereby setting the stage for ever-escalating political aggression.
