Transnational Cinema, the Film Reader (Paperback, New)

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.
