Green screen

"Green Screen identifies the various ways in which the natural world and the built environment have been conceptualised in American culture, and analyses the interplay of environmental ideologies at work in Hollywood movies. David Ingram argues that Hollywood cinema plays an important ideological role in the 'greenwashing' of ecological discourses, while largely perpetuating romantic attitudes to nature, including those prevalent in deep ecological thought. These arcadian constructions remain ultimately at the service of a mainstream environmentalist agenda."--BOOK JACKET.
