  • License to Chill: James Bond and Détente in Film
    License to Chill: James Bond and Détente in Film Abstract: The following paper aims to investigate how the détente period from 1963-1979 was portrayed in film. Détente as a policy significantly contributed to the ending of the Cold War, for it opened avenues of dialogue previously not available between the United States and Soviet Union. However, how the average person experienced détente or whether or not the policy impacted citizens lives at all is up for debate. This paper utilizes film as a unit of popular culture to understand détente’s role in everyday life in the United States between 1963 and 1979. This paper specifically investigates James Bond films because of their creation during détente, their ongoing series nature, their inclusive rating system, as well their role as insights into the geopolitical landscape. !1 Background On June 10, 1963, President John F. Kennedy addressed American University’s graduating class. In a speech entitled “A Strategy of Peace,” Kennedy warned of the dangers of current U.S. foreign policy towards the Soviet Union, highlighting that tensions between the two superpowers had already demonstrated their potential to destroy the world during the Cuban Missile Crisis (Kennedy, 1963). “A Strategy of Peace” would later come to be recognized as turning-point moment in the U.S. foreign policy approach of détente, leading to an evolution in the pursuit of such policy. Détente has been largely defined as the “the relaxation of strained relations or tensions [as between countries]” (Merriam-Webster Dictionary s.v. détente). Author Jussi Hanhimaki, in his book The Rise and Fall of Détente: American Foreign Policy and the Transformation of the Cold War, found that détente was applied to U.S.-Soviet relations between the years of 1963 through 1979 (Hanhimaki, 2013).
