Masculinities in Polish, Czech and Slovak Cinema

Více o knize

Focusing on the representation of masculinity in Polish, Czech, and Slovak cinema, this book explores how these films reflect national identity against a backdrop of shared political history under state socialism. It examines various male archetypes, including soldiers, fathers, and lovers, highlighting the interplay between gender and national narratives. By introducing lesser-known films to an English-speaking audience, it provides a comparative analysis of masculinity in a region often overlooked in cinematic discourse.
