Summary
"Hozic's tale of latter-day capitalism suggests that the physical reorganization of production - throughout the American economy but in Hollywood in particular - alters material and conceptual boundaries between work and leisure, public and private, reality and fantasy. Particular economic regimes and forms of spatial organization have specific moral implications, and so the story of Hollywood's cultural production is partly a story of censorship and moral surveillance. Hozic's account of industrial change in Hollywood and of its attempts at moral control over the production of fantasy is an illuminating confrontation with the peculiar nature of Hollywood's political authority and of its complex power."--Jacket.
