From the Paper:

"The Hollywood film "Fight Club" (1999) is a complex depiction of masculinity in the postmodern consumer age. Although its critique of consumerism is surprisingly radical for a mainstream Hollywood production, the most significant aspect of the film is how this critique is intertwined with an analysis of the impact of globalized economics and the labor marketplace upon constructions of masculinity in modern culture. As this essay will argue, "Fight Club" represents the convergence of gender and globalized economics in terms of labor marginalized in both geographic space and economic relations."
