What is The Philosophy of Tim Burton (Philosophy Of Popular Culture) about?
Director and producer Tim Burton impresses audiences with stunning visuals, sinister fantasy worlds, and characters whose personalities are strange and yet familiar. Drawing inspiration from sources as varied as Lewis Carroll, Salvador Dalí, Washington Irving, and Dr. Seuss, Burton's creations frequently elicit both alarm and wonder. Whether crafting an offbeat animated feature, a box-office hit, a collection of short fiction, or an art exhibition, Burton pushes the envelope, and he has emerged as a powerful force in contemporary popular culture.In __The Philosophy of Tim Burton__, a distinguished group of scholars examines the philosophical underpinnings and significance of the director's oeuvre, investigating films such as __Batman__ (1989), __Edward Scissorhands__ (1990), __The Nightmare before Christmas__ (1993), __Sleepy Hollow__ (1999), __Big Fish__ (2003), __Sweeney Todd__ (2007), __Alice in Wonderland__ (2010), and __Dark Shadows__ (2012). The essays in this volume explore Burton's distinctive style, often disturbing content, and popular appeal through three thematic lenses: identity, views on authority, and aesthetic vision.Covering topics ranging from Burton's fascination
