With extraordinary transnational and transdisciplinary range, World
Literature, Transnational Cinema, and Global Media comprehensively
explores the genealogies, vocabularies, and concepts orienting the
fields within literature, cinema, and media studies. Orchestrating
a layered conversation between arts, disciplines, and media, Stam
argues for their "mutual embeddedness" and their shared
"in-between" territories. Rather than merely adding to the existing
scholarship, the book builds a relational framework through the
connectivities within literature, cinema, music, and media that
opens up analysis to new categories and concepts, while crossing
spatial, temporal, theoretical, disciplinary, and mediatic borders.
The book also questions an array of hierarchies: literature over
cinema; source novel over adaptation; feature film over
documentary; erudite over vernacular culture; Western modernisms
over "peripheral" modernisms; classical over popular music; written
poetry over sung poetry, and so forth. The book is structured
around the concept of the "commons," forming a strong thread which
links various struggles against "enclosures" of all kinds, with
emphasis on natural, indigenous, cultural, creative, digital, and
the transdisciplinary commons. World Literature, Transnational
Cinema, and Global Media is ideal to further the theoretical
discussion for those undergraduate and graduate departments in
cinema studies, media studies, arts and art history,
communications, journalism, and new digital media programs at all
levels.
