Product Description
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, and that reflect the impact of advanced capitalism and new media technologies in an increasingly interconnected world-system. The essays demonstrate 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:
DT From National to Transnational Cinema
DT Global Cinema in the Digital Age
DT Motion Pictures: Film, Migration and Diaspora
DT Tourists and Terrorists
When read in juxtaposition, these essays make clear that the significance of crossing borders varies according to the ethnic and/or gendered identity of the traveller, suggesting that the crossing of certain lines generates fundamental shifts in both the aesthetics and the ethics of cinema as a representational art.
