Abstract

This paper considers the US revisionist Western as a site of consideration for the problems of nihilism and labour. Focusing primarily on Robert Aldrich's 'Ulzana's Raid' it considers the cultural and political context of the 'long 1970s' for a thinking of resistance and nihilism in the present moment.
