Violence and Open Spaces

The Subversion of Boundaries and the Transformation of the Western Genre. Edited by Stefanie Mueller, Christa Buschendorf and Katja Sarkowsky.

This volume collects 10 contributions discussing providing a fresh perspective: Taking Norbert Elias’ 'The Civilizing Process' (1939) and its insights into the interdependence between habitus formation, spatial reorganization and the emergence of a state monopoly of violence as their point of departure, they analyze contemporary visions of open and bounded spaces as well as of the liminal spaces between them in recent films and TV shows. 203 Seiten, gebunden (American Studies - A Monograph Series; Vol. 277/Universitätsverlag Winter 2017) leichte Lagerspuren/near mint
