Transcultural Images in Hollywood Cinema delves into the profound impact of cinema, particularly Hollywood, on the construction of our cultural identities. It explores how the politics of representation shape the boundaries of ethnic and racial characteristics, creating a standardized global image. The transnational perspective dismantles, fragments, and decentralizes this image, leading to a hybrid understanding of identity. Cultures and identities that transcend borders merge their local traits with those of the host cultures, forming a vibrant mosaic. This book examines the transnational and transcultural dimensions of Hollywood cinema, scrutinizing its narrative, cinematic, and aesthetic structures within the context of gender, social, cultural, and economic-political contexts. It appeals to scholars of international communication, film, and social sciences, offering valuable insights into the complex interplay between culture, representation, and identity.
