Full Introduction
Lawrence of Arabia: A Film’s Anthropology by Steven C. Caton is an explorative and fascinating analysis of the classic film, Lawrence of Arabia by David Lean. According to Caton, the book is not merely an "ideological critique," but a "critical intervention," the goal of which is to investigate why, for the last three decades, so many people have found this classic epic so compelling. Linking the experience of Lawrence to his own experience of coping with "cultural collision" by using method of critical analysis called "dialectical criticism," Caton shows that Lawrence of Arabia is a powerful piece of anthropological work because of its self-critical nature.
