商品簡介
Ray (English, U. of Leeds, UK) compiles 10 essays that examine The Shield from various theoretical and methodological perspectives. Scholars of gender studies, media, English, American studies, and many other disciplines in Europe, Guam, and Australia consider the influences that shaped the series. They discuss its visual style; its acoustic signatures and sound practices; comparisons between the show's Detective Wagenbach and Agent Fox Mulder of The X-Files and to The Sopranos; the place of the interrogation room; the representation of race, masculinity, and female officers; the place of The Shield in the context of the political exceptionalism that defined the George W. Bush era; and how the series represented the middle class crisis of social reproduction. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
