Beltrán, Mary C. "The New Hollywood Racelessness: Only the Fast, Furious, (and Multiracial) Will Survive." 44.2 (winter 2005): 50–67.

This article interrogates the rise of the "multiculti" action film and the casting of multicultural actors as Hollywood action-film protagonists. These trends are examined in light of shifts in U.S. ethnic demographics and youth-oriented popular culture.

Bihlmeyer, Jaime. "The (Un)Speakable FEMININITY in Mainstream Movies: Jane Campion's The Piano." 44.2 (winter 2005): 68–88.

Jane Campion's The Piano (1993) opens an uncanny space in mainstream movies where cinematic enunciation intersects with the linguistic and psychoanalytic innovations of the last half-century. This article presents a glimpse into the traces (semios) of FEMININITY as latent extra-Symbolic discourse in Campion's film.

Chong, Sylvia Shin Huey. "Restaging the War: The Deer Hunter and the Primal Scene of Violence." 44.2 (winter 2005): 89–106.

Rudolf Jugert's 1949 German-jazz musical Hallo, Fräulein! transmutes and inverts many of the conventions of the Hollywood musical in order to comment on the cultural and racial stakes of the American occupation of Germany following World War II. Made under the supervision of the U.S. military government, the film unsettles the proposition of cultural reorientation and the definition of democratic culture in general.
