The Western in the Global South investigates the Western film genre's impact, migrations, and reconfigurations in the Global South. Contributors explore how cosmopolitan directors have engaged with, appropriated, and subverted the tropes and conventions of Hollywood and Italian Westerns, and how Global South Westerns and Post-Westerns in particular address the inequities brought about by postcolonial patriarchy, globalization and neoliberalism. The book offers a wide range of historical engagements with the genre, from African, Caribbean, South and Southeast Asian, Central and South American, and transnational directors. The contributors employ interdisciplinary cultural studies approaches to cinema, integrating aesthetic considerations with historical, political, and gender studies readings of the international appropriations and U.S. re-appropriations of the Western genre.

This wide-ranging book illuminates the importance of the Western in American history. It explores the interconnections between the Western in both literature and film and the United States in the 20th century. Structured chronologically, the book traces the evolution of the Western as a uniquely American form. The author argues that America's frontier past was quickly transformed into a set of symbols and myths, an American meta-narrative that came to underpin much of the 'American century'. He details how and why this process occurred, the form and function of Western myths and symbols

Le cinéma naît alors que l'épopée de l'Ouest touche à sa fin. En 1895, on déclare la fin de la Frontière et le cinéma prend la relève du mouvement de conquête. Les fondateurs de Hollywood ne manqueront pas de faire eux-mêmes le parallèle. Dès qu'il y eut cinéma aux États-Unis, il y eut western… Ce rapport de proximité entre l'époque et l'invention d'un nouveau mode de création nourrit une intimité sur laquelle fait fond le western classique américain. Au fil des contributions ici rassemblées, les angles d'approches se multiplient : esthétique, anthropologie philosophique, philosophie sociale et politique, philosophie de l'histoire, histoire de l'art et études cinématographiques. En mobilisant essentiellement des compétences et des références philosophiques, mais aussi les vertus de l'interdisciplinarité, ce collectif se propose de poser les jalons d'une étude approfondie de l'image westernienne en traitant les enjeux des limites et frontières, de la justice sans cesse réinterrogée, de l'étranger, du lointain, du vivre ensemble, de la persécution, de l'imaginaire culturel et social et de l'invention historique.
