In?.Muslim Heroes on Screen., Daniel O’Brien explores the depiction of these characters in Euro-American cinema from the silent era to the present day. Far from being mere racial masquerade, these screen portrayals are more complex and nuanced than is generally allowed, not least in terms of the shifting concepts and assumptions that inform their Muslim identity. Using films ranging from Douglas Fairbanks’?.The Thief of Bagdad, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, El Cid, Kingdom of Heaven and The Message to The Wind and the Lion., O’Brien considers how the representational strategies of Western filmmakers may transcend such Muslim stereotypes as fanatic antagonists or passive victims. These figures possess a cultural significance which cannot be fully appreciated by Euro-American audiences without reference to their distinction as Muslim heroes and the implications and resonances of an Islamicized protagonist.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | | 關(guān)鍵詞 | Euro-American cinema; Muslim; Archetype; Silent Cinema; Western; Racial Representation; Identity; Islam | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-74142-6 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-74144-0 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-74142-6 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
