  • Ideas Políticas En American Gangster
    ATLANTIS Journal of the Spanish Association of Anglo-American Studies 42.1 (June 2020): 57-75 e-issn 1989-6840 DOI: http://doi.org/10.28914/Atlantis-2020-42.1.04 © The Author(s) Content is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution NonCommercial ShareAlike 4.0 International Licence Of Godfathers and Markets: The Politics of (the) American Gangster Fabián Orán Llarena Universidad de La Laguna [email protected] This article closely examines the filmAmerican Gangster (2007) as a reinterpretation of the gangster film in light of neoliberalism. Deploying a critical framework underpinned by cultural and film genre studies, I argue the film revisits key tropes and themes of the gangster film by drawing substantially on neoliberal ideology and by addressing certain worldviews and phenomena concerning capitalist accumulation, such as Keynesianism, libertarianism and the relation between the state and private spheres. A wealth of scholarly literature has accrued that probes neoliberal capitalism as the hegemonic economic and political system of our time. However, film studies has yet to comprehensively take up the study of neoliberalism. Additionally, whether there are genre specificities in the way neoliberalism has been translated into film is a significantly underexplored area of research. American Gangster constitutes a particularly appropriate film to cohesively and unitarily tackle all those questions. Keywords: gangster film; film studies; entrepreneur; neoliberalism; capitalism . De padrinos y mercados: ideas políticas en American Gangster Este artículo analiza en profundidad la película American Gangster (2007) como reinterpretación del cine de gánsteres en clave neoliberal. Desarrollando una metodología basada en estudios culturales y de género cinematográfico, sostengo que la película revisita temas e imágenes troncales del cine de gánsteres bajo la influencia de la ideología neoliberal y abordando ciertas visiones y fenómenos vinculados a la acumulación capitalista, como el Keynesianismo, el libertarismo o la relación entre las esferas estatal y privada.
