A Silent Scream: An Approach to «King Kong» and the Evolution of the Contemporary American Imaginary

Descripción

The four main versions of King Kong dramatize the fear of the Other: women, people of colour, nature, history, and atavistic religiosity. The American imaginary is observed in the King Kong film series. The four King Kong films link American modernity with the different crises: 1929, oil, the twin towers and the military.
