Abstract :It has been noted, in a number of different contexts, that post Second World War visual culture has been significantly shaped by practices, meanings and what has often been referred to as media—but might better be thought of as forms—that emerged in or were developed and effectively disseminated from the U.S. The continued significance of Hollywood cinema, for example, seems not to be underestimated in the assessment, by Bernard Steigler, that it is the cultural form of a certain type of narrative fiction film that has been effectively at work in the “‘macdonaldization’ of the world” Steigler 100 pre- and post second World War.
