Annotation

Nils Bothmann applies antiessentialist genre theory to study the fusion of the action and the detection genre in the hybrid genre of detAction, focusing on the work of screenwriter and director Shane Black. After providing antiessentialist definitions of all three genres, the author undertakes close readings of Black's work in order to analyze depictions of race and gender as well as the role of intermediality and genre hybridity in detAction.
