----- 美国文化的另一面：论消费文化时代的悲观传统

ISBN: 9780199969920 出版年：2013 页码：310 Dussere, Erik Oxford University Press

America Is Elsewhere investigates the literary and cinematic category of "noir" and its role in the clash between authenticity and consumer culture that has helped to define post-World War II America. Erik Dussere considers the conflict by exploring the commercial spaces that appear in works throughout the genre. He searches the supermarkets and gas stations found in films like Double Indemnity and The Killers; journeys into Raymond Chandler's Los Angeles; follows the trail of paranoia in neo-noir conspiracy thrillers like The Parallax View; and, ultimately, delves into the contemporary American spaces created by cyberpunk and the Coen brothers.
