This innovative book is about the place of world cinema in the
cultural imaginary. It also repositions world cinema in a wider
discursive space than is usually the case and treats it as an
object of theoretical enquiry, rather than as a commercial label.
The editors and distinguished group of contributors offer a range
of approaches and case studies whose organizing principle is the
developing idea of polycentrism as applied to cinema. They refine
and redefine key concepts in film studies, including identification
and identity, narrative and realism, allegory and the national
project, auteurism and the popular, art and genre. They re-evaluate
how cinema shapes and responds to the philosophical, cultural and
political effects of transnationalism and cosmopolitanism in the
age of the moving image, and explore the interconnectedness of
films produced worldwide, as well as the links between cinema and
other visual cultural forms. The contributors include: John
Caughie, Felicia Chan, Tiago de Luca, Rajinder Dudrah, Song Hwee
Lim, Laura Mulvey, Lucia Nagib, Geoffrey Nowell-Smith, Chris
Perriam, Ashish Rajadhyaksha, Paul Julian Smith, and Ismail Xavier.
