Dan Shaw, drawing on Cavell's theories, analyzed classic and contemporary dramas such as \"Mr. Smith Goes to Washington\" (1939), \"Boys Don't Cry\" (1999), and \"The Hurt Locker\" (2008). He also explored Cavell's precursors, including Emerson, Nietzsche, and Mill, to provide a unique American philosophical perspective on the study of Hollywood film.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 278g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 154 x 233 x 17 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781474455718\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Daniel Shaw","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44096235274490,"sku":"9781474455718","price":18.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1646146285955_book.jpg?v=1646910151","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/stanley-cavell-and-the-magic-of-hollywood-films-9781474455718","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
