Cinema, Theory Contemporary Culture
This book explores the political significance of aesthetic analysis in the context of cultural and film studies, and asks how political responsibility can be reconciled with the concept of the university as a democratic institution. Through detailed reference to Neil Jordan's film The Crying Game, Patrick McGee shows how film can be both a product of the culture industry and a critique of it. He analyzes the function of the university in producing interpretations of such highly political art forms and in determing the limits of critical discussion. McGee links Adorno with Derrida to provide a new route through cultural studies and the claims of political criticism.

Praise for this book
"It should be added that whether in developing the shrewdly observed details of his close readings or in negotiating his rigorous theoretical discussions over a terrain well mined with jargon, McGee writes with exemplary clarity and personal engagement." MLN
