      abstract = {This book maps father failure and redemption through three  decades of Hollywood family films, revealing how  libertarian notions that align agency with autonomy lead to  new conflicts for the contemporary father. The films find  resolution to these conflicts through a re-gendering of  parenting as relationship. In their creation of a pure  fatherhood that is valorised as authentic for its lack of  parental responsibilities, the films serve to challenge the  perception that fathering enacted outside the nuclear  family structure is fragile. McNulty Norton finds in the  films a new essentialism that secures the pure relationship  to the biological father, reinforcing his position in the  face of changing family forms. Denise McNulty Norton is an  independent researcher. Her research interests include the  sociology of free will and the discursive construction of  family.},
