A movie is a Western. Or it a Film Noir. Or it is a Romantic Comedy. Or whatever.But what if, as Jacque Derrida has asked, there is something more going on?\"What if there were, lodged within the heart of the law of genre itself, a law of impurity or a principle of contamination? And suppose the condition for the possibility of the law were the a priori of a counter-law, an axiom of impossibility that would confound its sense, order, and reason?\" These postmodern questions destabilize not only the idea of individual genres, but the very idea of genre itself. Hence: neo-genres. Neo-genres are genres that understand, as it were, their own contingency. Neo-genres revel in their own self-consciousness. In this ground-breaking new book, film scholar Richard Gilmore reflects on these neo-genre films, and the wisdom - if any - that can be found in them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichard Gilmore is the Chair of Philosophy at Concordia College, Moorhead, Minnesota.
