About the Book

The standard analytical category of "national cinema" has increasingly been called into question by the category of the "transnational." This anthology will examine 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 the book will cover the geopolitical imaginary, transnational cinematic institutions, and the uneven flow of words and images. Contributors represent a broad array of nationalities and include many of the leading scholars in the field.
