Nataša Durovicová, Kathleen E. Newman
The standard analytical category of « national cinema » has increasingly been called into question by the category of the « transnational. » This anthology examines the premises and consequences of the coexistence of these two categories and the parameters of historiographical approaches that cross the borders of nation-states. The three sections of World Cinemas, Transnational Perspectives cover the geopolitical imaginary, transnational cinematic institutions, and the uneven flow of words and images.
