The studys critical context brings together psychoanalysis and restorative and reflective nostalgia as a way of understanding the ideological function of superhero fantasy. It explores the origins of cinematic superhero fantasy from antecedents in myth and religion, to twentieth-century comic book, to the cinematic breakthrough with Superman (1978). The authors then focus on Spider-Man as reflective response to Supermans restorative nostalgia, and read MCUs overarching narrative from Iron Man to End Game in terms of the concurrent social, political, and environmental conditions as a world in crisis. Zornado and Reilly take up Wonder Woman and Black Panther as self-conscious attempts to reflect on gender and race in restorative superhero fantasy, and explore Christopher Nolans Dark Knight trilogy as a meditation on the need for authoritarian fascism. The book concludes with Logan, Wonder Woman 1984, and Amazon Primes The Boys as distinctly reflective fantasy narratives critical of the superhero fantasy phenomenon. Joseph Zornado is Professor of English at Rhode Island College, USA, and author of numerous essays and books, including Disney and the Dialectic of Desire: Fantasy as Social Practice (Palgrave MacMillan, 2017) and Critical Thinking: Developing the Intellectual Tools for Social Justice (2019). Sara Reilly is Adjunct Instructor and Academic Advisor at Rhode Island College, USA. She teaches first-year writing and college success. 001440935 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCOhost platform, viewed April 15, 2022). 001440935 650_0 $$aSuperhero films$$xHistory and criticism. 001440935 650_0 $$aSuperheroes$$xSocial aspects. 001440935 650_6 $$aFilms de superhéros$$xHistoire et critique. 001440935 650_6 $$aSuperhéros$$xAspect social. 001440935 655_7 $$aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411635 001440935 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001440935 7001_ $$aReilly, Sara,$$eauthor. 001440935 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aZornado, Joseph L.$$tCinematic superhero as social practice.$$dCham, Switzerland : Palgrave Macmillan, [2021]$$z9783030854577$$w(OCoLC)1272877441 001440935 852__ $$bebk 001440935 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-85458-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001440935 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1440935$$pGLOBAL_SET 001440935 980__ $$aBIB 001440935 980__ $$aEBOOK 001440935 982__ $$aEbook 001440935 983__ $$aOnline 001440935 994__ $$a92$$bISE
