This book is the first of its kind to bring basic notions of
contemporary physics to bear on African cine-scapes. In this book,
renowned African cinema scholar Kenneth W. Harrow presents unique
new ways to think about space and time in film, with a specific
focus on African and African diasporic cinema. Through a series of
case studies, he explores how cinema creates and represents time
and space and, more specifically, how a cinema centered in African
landscapes and figures accomplishes this. He reflects on the issues
and problems posed by scientists when faced with the basic
questions of what space and time are and their solutions or
conclusions, giving both film studies and African studies scholars
access to new ways to formulate their thinking about African
cine-scapes. Working beyond the limits of a framework based in a
postcolonial and cultural understanding of time and space, Harrow
demonstrates how a scientific understanding of time and space can
open up new approaches to African cinema and cinema in general. A
unique, interdisciplinary book that encourages brand new ways to
approach cinematic texts and, specifically, African cine-scapes.
