Yates, Candida,1959-

Masculine jealousy and contemporary cinema[electronic resource] /Candida Yates. - Basingstoke, Hampshire ;Palgrave Macmillan,2007. - xi, 225 p.

Includes filmography (p. 199-201).

Setting the scene : masculinity, jealousy and contemporary culture -- Psychoanalytic understandings of masculinity and jealousy -- Theoriesof masculinity, cinema, spectatorship and the jealous gaze -- Analysing jealousy texts from a psycho-cultural perspective -- Taxi Driver : the psychopathic hero and the rescue romance : how jealousy drives the narrative along -- Michael Douglas : envy, greed and jealous desire in A Perfect Murder -- Englishness, nation and masculine jealousy in The Endof the Affair -- The Piano : a feminine narrative of masculine jealousies -- Unfaithful : a tale of female infidelity and the jealousy of a good husband -- Conclusion : Towards and understanding of masculinity, jealousy and cinema.

Masculine Jealousy and Contemporary Cinema provides new insights into the relationship between masculinity and jealousy through the study of representations of male jealousy in contemporary Hollywood cinema. Itargues that male jealousy has played a key role in the psycho-culturalshaping of Western masculinities and male fantasy, and can be used to explore the losses and insecurities of contemporary masculinities. Candida Yates develops that discussion through the study of representationsof male jealousy in contemporary Hollywood films, where the emotional and moral outcomes of jealous triangles are now often ambiguous. Such ambiguities resonate with cultural images of 'masculinity in crisis' andthe alleged feminization of masculinity within popular culture more generally. These themes are explored in depth through five film case studies where the male stars and their cultural reception in the press are discussed alongside the potential of such images for more complex and less destructive formations of masculinity and jealousy.
