The Routledge Companion to Transnational Westerns breaks new ground in the study of how Westerns from around the world combine different national storytelling traditions to critically revise the myths of the American West.
Spanning the globe, and covering topics as diverse as Chilean and Argentinian film Westerns, sound design in Native American film Westerns, Japanese and French film criticism, Hebrew pulp Westerns, Weird Westerns from Spain, comic book Westerns, and Polish literary Westerns, this companion uncovers the ways that Westerns have crossed the borders of nations and genres, creating vibrant media that speaks to questions of identity, regional belonging, race, and gender.
Written accessibly and designed to situate readers and specialists alike in key critical conversations and methodologies, this volume is an important contribution to the study of the ideological versatility of the Western as a genre.
