From successful, published editors, Transnational Cinema: The Film
Reader provides an overview of the key concepts and debates within
the developing field of transnational cinema. Bringing together
seminal essays from a wide range of sources, this volume engages
with films that fashion their narrative and aesthetic dynamics in
relation to more than one national or cultural community,
demonstrating that, in an era no longer marked by the sharp
divisions between communist and capitalist nation states, or even
'first' and 'third' worlds, Europe and the U.S. must be factored
into the increasingly hybrid notion of 'world cinema'. The reader
is divided into four sections: From National to Transnational
Cinema; Global Cinema in the Digital Age; Motion Pictures: Film,
Migration and Diaspora; and Tourists and Terrorists. Examining how
the significance of crossing borders varies according to the ethnic
and/or gendered identity of the traveller the editors suggest that
the crossing of certain lines generates fundamental shifts in both
the aesthetics and the ethics of cinema as a representational art.
studies students have a one-stop reference for all their
transnational cinema needs.
