Descripción
Sumario:Part of a special section on the intersection of ideologies of violence. Michael Moore's movie, Bowling for Columbine, analyzes the corporate, media, and government involvement in generating an atmosphere of pervasive paranoia and aggravating threats, and their simultaneous glorifying, validating, or playing down of violence in the U.S. and abroad. The movie offers an understanding of Moore's uncompromising perspective of some of the most critical issues in society, which can aid the articulation of an oppositional, hopeful pedagogy of peace and creatively unite moral outrage with an invitation to fear less.
