This theoretical framework is combined with close textual analysis of the films in order to explore the visual and narrative mechanisms that the three Bourne movies starring Matt Damon use in order to, first, capture the protagonist’s lost sense of self and, second, construct a new cosmopolitan hero for the mainstream. As I argue, Bourne’s unrelentless journey across borders encapsulates some of the paradoxes of our highly mobile times, while also calling attention to certain shortcomings and inadequacies of the ‘national paradigm’, to make sense of an individual’s existence within contemporary societies. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/H12 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/FFI2010-15312 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 2.043 2016 TRANSPORTATION 13 / 33 = 0.394 2016 Q2 T2 GEOGRAPHY 25 / 78 = 0.321 2016 Q2 T1 1.877 2016 Demography 2016 Q1 Sociology and Political Science 2016 Q1 Geography, Planning and Development 2016 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 3004 345 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
