"The Intouchables". Transcultural Perspectives and the Dialectics of Post-Racial American Race Relations [German]

By Aneka Brunßen

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Medien / Kommunikation - Film und Fernsehen, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: One prevalent topic surrounding the question regarding the current rise in American anger is the debate over postmodern methods of cultural analysis in context to subjects such as film as well as a divide regarding the topic of race-relations. This analysis will explore the internal dialectics of American political ideology as a backdrop for the discussion on race in post-racial American culture. By viewing the 2011 French film "The Intouchables" as an example of synthesis and a representation of a methodological application of postmodern ideals in context to the dialectic of approaches to racism in a transcultural setting, the analysis seeks to critically assess both ideologies and show how the radicalization of either neglects to follow postmodern methods and fails to maintain the internal logic necessary to create actual political change. Thereby the analysis establishes causes and possible problematic side-effects of this cultural radicalization as well as possible solutions and access points for further investigation.
