{"product_id":"masculine-interests-9780231113007","title":"Masculine Interests","description":"Until \u003ci\u003eMasculine Interests\u003c\/i\u003e not much had been written about men \"as men\" in the cinema. Now Robert Lang considers how Hollywood articulates the eroticism that is intrinsic to identification between men. He considers masculinity in social and psychoanalytic terms, maintaining that a major function of the movies is to define different types of masculinity, and to either valorize or criticize these forms. Focusing on several films—primarily \u003ci\u003eThe Lion King\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Most Dangerous Game\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Outlaw\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eKiss Me Deadly\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMidnight Cowboy\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eInnerspace\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMy Own Private Idaho\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eBatman\u003c\/i\u003e series, and \u003ci\u003eJerry Maguire\u003c\/i\u003e—Lang questions the way in which American culture distinguishes between homosexual and nonhomosexual forms of male bonding. In arguing for a much more complex recognition of the homosocial continuum, he contends that queer sexuality is far more present in American cinema than is usually acknowledged.","brand":"Robert Lang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48277370601723,"sku":"9780231113007","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/masculine-interests-9780231113007","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
