The essay defines Kaplan’s theory of pretrauma cinema, outlines the potential failings, and explains how WALL-E showcases the anxieties society has about the planet’s future, through mass consumerism, global warming, and mass waste.

Jonás Cuarón’s Desierto remaps the us-them binary by vacillating across Latinx migrant and white citizen viewpoints at the Mexico‐United States border. Liminal spaces in the film reorient nationalistic perspectives and xenophobic tensions revolving around national belonging. Taking a transnational and intersubjective analytical approach to film studies, this essay investigates how the global era displaces migrant, citizen, and spectator alike. Cuarón’s intersubjective vision of the modern transnational world presents an empathic way to perceive and experience cross-border disputes.

The Walt Disney Company is immensely influential around the globe, but in the near future, the world’s largest film market will reside in China rather than the United States. It is thus important to examine how Disney’s 1998 Mulan and its 2020 remake contribute to the advancement and oppression of Chinese/Americans within Hollywood. This paper will compare both films by analyzing each film’s casts and crews, reception in the global film market, critical responses, treatment of racial and gender identity within each narrative, and the sociohistorical contexts in which the films were produced.
