Beschreibung
This book analyses American Western films of the
1945-65 period in light of French existentialist
ideas about the outsider figure. It begins by
examining processes of cultural exchange between the
United States and France before going on to compare
outsider-ness as configured by both western and
existentialist outsider figures. While individualism
emerges as their main commonality, the book goes
further, by applying key existentialist concepts to
the western hero: autonomy, alienation, absurdity.
This enables the creative interpretation of western
representations and narratives. Meanwhile, the
western hero becomes a complex figure whose outsider
status raises important questions about what it
means to be an insider. The book will be of
particular interest to those studying within the
field of film, philosophy and media and cultural
studies, as well as anyone with an interdisciplinary
interest in the arts and humanities.
