How have theories such as Marxism, psychoanalysis, literary theory, structuralism, and others been used by Western Film theorists to respond to an increasingly globalized consciousness?

What issues might arise from cross cultural applications of such theories?
Can you draw examples of this from your own viewing experiences?
