Opis

Uses the law and order generic network and its relationship to juridical discourses to show how emotions are deployed to construct ideologies of law and justice while, simultaneously, constructing cultural understandings of the meaning of various emotions.

Recenzje

‘E. Deidre Pribram’s well-written and engaging work is a return to the traditional Cultural Studies way of doing representational research and is perhaps surprisingly to some predominantly a refreshing read. Emotions, Genre, Justice in Film and Television: Detecting Feeling is at first glance a return to a well-tread perspective, but it could also potentially be the start of a new cinema research focus on justice and emotion on a much larger scale.’ – Helle Kannik Haastrup, MedieKultur
