| Revisioning 007 is a lively collection of new essays on the
reinvention of James Bond in the 2006 film Casino Royale,
starring Daniel Craig in his first appearance as Agent
007. Treating Casino Royale as a case study in popular
film culture and as a significant turning point in the
007 series, the book offers innovative readings of the
film and its interrelations with the Bond franchise,
the culture industry and recent developments in cinema,
society and world politics. Essay topics range from the
analysis of 007's masochism, voyeurism and hyper-mobility,
to the examination of the film's testicular torture scene,
the links between international politics and high-stakes
gambling and the changing role of the secret agent in
a post-9/11 world order.
