At the time, spaghetti Westerns were seen as derivative and "mere" entertainment, but a critical consensus has emerged since that the genre helped to define a new kind of masculinity in action cinema; it was profoundly engaged with radical politics that saw violent revolution as the only way forward; and it articulated a different attitude toward history, one largely free of nostalgia, than that of the traditional, Hollywood Western. No knowledge of Italian needed; two 7-8 page papers. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
