Since his earliest appearances in print and on the screen, James Bond has become a popular icon
and has developed nothing short of his own cultural mythology. His iconic status today may well hide
the fact that through the years, “James Bond” has acquired very different meanings in a variety of
contexts. He has provided a screen onto which the heterogeneous desires of nationally, culturally
and socially diverse readers, viewers and users have been projected. In addition, Bond has long become
an academic topic as well, not just in film studies, but also in literary and cultural studies. As a
cultural phenomenon entangled in the histories not only of Western cultures since World War II, Bond
more than merits a conference as a forum to discuss new approaches and recent revisions.
