Bücher von Lee Drummond

Refashioning cultural analysis into a hard-edged tool for the study of American society and culture, Lee Drummond explores the 9/11 terrorist attacks, abortion, sports doping, and the Jonestown massacre-suicides, providing the basis for a new theory of culture grounded in the thought of Friedrich Nietzsche.

Despite America's practical and technological aims, the money spent on film and sports events tends to convey an image of a whimsical nation. This work explores these conflicting images through an analysis of movies, revealing the ties that daily activity and thought have with a world of myth.
