{"product_id":"9781476618203","title":"The Politics of Big Fantasy: The Ideologies of Star Wars, The Matrix and The Avengers","description":"Bringing critical attention to a particular set of science fiction and fantasy films—Larry and Andy Wachowski’s \u003ci\u003eThe Matrix\u003c\/i\u003e, George Lucas’ \u003ci\u003eStar Wars\u003c\/i\u003e saga, and Joss Whedon’s \u003ci\u003eAvengers\u003c\/i\u003e—this book utilizes a wide-ranging set of critical tools to illuminate their political ideologies, while also examining any resistant and complicating turns or byways the films may provide. What they all have in common ideologically is that they—or at least the genres they belong to—tend to be regarded as belonging to politically conservative frames of sociocultural reference. With the \u003ci\u003eStar Wars\u003c\/i\u003e saga, however, this idea is shown to be superficial and weak.","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company, Incorporated Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47179484102896,"sku":"9781476618203","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781476618203_p0.jpg?v=1763608669","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781476618203","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
