Films of Arab Loutfi and Heiny Srour: Studies in Palestine Solidarity Cinema: Palgrave Studies in Arab Cinema

Autor Terri Ginsberg
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 noi 2021
This book places long overdue focus on the Palestine solidarity films of two important Arab women directors whose cinematic works have never received due attention within the scholarly literature or the cultural public sphere. Through an analysis that situates these largely overlooked films within the matrix of an anti-Zionist critique of cinematic ontology, this book offers a materialist feminist appreciation of their political aesthetics while critiquing the ideological enabling conditions of their academic absenting. The study of these daring films fosters a much-needed, sustained understanding of the meaning and significance of Palestine solidarity filmmaking for and within the Arab world.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

“In this penetrating volume, Terri Ginsberg provides us with an example of film scholarship at its most radical. Giving fresh and detailed attention to the Palestine solidarity films of two Arab women directors, Ginsberg challenges us to rethink some of our most basic political assumptions, calling into question multiple disciplines, fields of inquiry, and epistemological frameworks. This book does not just describe decolonization; it partakes in it.” —Greg Burris, Associate Professor of Media Studies, American University of Beirut; author of The Palestinian Idea: Film, Media, and the Radical Imagination
