Drawing together 18 contributions from leading international
scholars, this book conceptualizes the history and theory of
cinema's century-long relationship to modes of exploration in its
many forms, from colonialist expeditions to decolonial radical
cinemas to the perceptual voyage of the senses made possible by the
cinematic apparatus. This is the first anthology dedicated to
analysing cinema's relationship to exploration from a global,
decolonial, and ecological perspective. Featuring leading scholars
working with pathbreaking interdisciplinary methodologies (drawing
on insights from science and technology studies, postcolonial
theory, indigenous ways of knowing, and film theory and history),
it theorizes not only cinema's implication in imperial conquest but
also its cutting-edge role in empirical expansion and experiments
in sensual and critical perception. The collected essays consider
filmmaking in cross-cultural contexts and films made in or about
peoples in South America, Asia, Africa, Indigenous North America,
as well as polar, outer space, and underwater exploration, with
famous figures such as Jacques Yves Cousteau alongside amateur and
scientific filmmakers. The essays in this collection are ideal for
a broad range of scholars, graduate students, and advanced
undergraduate students in cinema and media studies, cultural
studies, and cognate fields.
