Abstract
The research developed in the previous chapters analyzes the way the concepts of nation and state were represented in films produced during radical political, social, and economic transformations. My analysis traces the transformations of films as fantasy formations, transformations triggered by trauma associated with radical social change. It specifically paid attention to the changes in the understanding and representation of the social authority, worker hero, female ideal, and space of the nation. Furthermore, the book, positioning itself within what has been discussed as an aesthetic turn in international relations, shows to what extent films become relevant arenas for political struggles over key elements such as the nation and the state. They do so by reproducing or challenging the concepts of state and nation at the level of discourse, the level of unconscious, and the Imaginary.KeywordsTraumatic EventFemale IdealSocial RelevanceCultural SpaceSocial AuthorityThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
