Books by Patrick (Louisiana State University) McGee

This 1997 book explores the political significance of aesthetic analysis in the context of cultural and film studies. Patrick McGee shows how film can be both a product and a critique of the culture industry. He analyses the function of the university in producing interpretations of such highly political art forms and in determining the limits of critical discussion.

From Shane to Kill Bill: Rethinking the Western is an original and compelling critical history of the American Western film.
