Beskrivning
Americans consider themselves practical, realistic people engaged in building a complex technological civilization. At the same time, however, we spend countless billions on activities that fly in the face of our supposed commitment to down-to-earth realism: our movies, television programs, and sports events seem to be the pastimes of a whimsical, fantasy-ridden people. American Dreamtime explores these conflicting images through an analysis of blockbuster movies, revealing the intimate ties our daily activity and thought have with a world of myth.

Recensioner i media
In his innovative and original study of popular American films Drummond finds a virtual forest of symbols—not disembodied, language-based meanings but of pervasive images of machines and animals that are generative of the mythic ambiguities of American culture.
