Violent Confrontations in Quentin Tarantino’s Filmography: A micro-sociological analysis.

This is the recording from Dr. Christopher Hill (https://www.ou.edu/cas/soc/people/fac...) lecture as part of the Spring 2024 OUA Lecture Series. From 1992 to 2019, Quentin Tarantino wrote and directed nine films. Through characters, dialogue, music, and themes, his movies have garnered critical acclaim and become cultural touchstones. They have also become a source of controversy for their portrayals of violence. In 2008 sociologist Randall Collins published a micro-sociological theory of violence. Rather than focusing on violent individuals, it is a theory of violent situations. It argues that confrontational tension and fear structure these situations, and differences in types of violence are associated with variation in overcoming tension/fear. This lecture applies Collins’s theory to the kinds of violence in Tarantino’s films.
