Description
Marxist Film Theory and Fight Club by Anna Kornbluh explores how Marxist concepts such as "the mode of production," "ideology," and "mediation" can be applied to film studies. This volume uses the 1999 film adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk's novel as a case study, examining how it engages with economic relations, ideological distortion, and opportunities for transformation. The book provides a detailed cinematic interpretation that students can practice with other films, offering a set of ideas about cinema and society that can be applied to broader cultural analysis. By analyzing Fight Club through the lens of Marxist theory, readers can gain tools for understanding the complex relationships between film, culture, and society.
