"From James Bond to Jason Bourne and beyond, this book offers a thorough rethinking of the resilient, iconic figure of the secret agent. Jeremy Packer has put together an innovative volume that is a must-read for anyone interested in popular cinema or new directions in cultural studies." Christoph Lindner, Professor of English Literature, University of Amsterdam
Reseña del editor
Why does the secret agent never seem to die? Why, in fact, has the secret agent not only survived the Cold War - which critics and pundits surmised would be the death of James Bond and of the genre more generally - but grown in popularity? Secret Agents attempts to answer these questions as it investigates the political and cultural ramifications of the continued popularity and increasing diversity of the secret agent across television, film, and popular culture. The volume opens with a foreword by Tony Bennett, and proceeds to investigate programs, figures, and films such as Alias, Austin Powers, Spy Kids, the "new" Bond Girl, Flint, Mission Impossible, Jason Bourne, and concludes with an afterword by Toby Miller. Chapters throughout question what it means for this popular icon to have far wider currency and meaning than merely that of James Bond as the white male savior of capital and democracy.
