- This monograph (pp. 211) contains six chapters, each of which is equivalent to a substantial journal article. The book focuses on Hollywood movies over a period of 22 years (from 1990 to 2012) and offers close readings of 20 films and film series. It is the first comprehensive account of how Hollywood has represented the family, drawing on a broad range of family models and theoretical approaches, incorporating psychoanalysis, feminism, American social history and Hollywood history.
