Postcolonial Cinema Studies de Sandra Ponzanesi

Postcolonial Cinema Studies

Editat de Sandra Ponzanesi, Marguerite Waller
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 oct 2011
How does postcolonial theory recast the debates in cinema studies, and with what aesthetic, economic and political implications? How does postcolonial cinema, in turn, contribute to and, at times, reframe postcolonial debates? Postcolonial cinema is presented here not a rigid category within which cinematic productions from the 'Third World' or the 'Global South' are to be confined, but as a critical tool with which to address issues of counter-hegemony, resistance, and alternative forms of representation in film productions, past and recent. Contributors include: Jude Akudinobi, Kanika Batra, Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Julie Codell, Sabine Doran, Hamish Ford, Claudia Hoffmann, Anik Imre, Paulo de Medeiros, Panivong Norindr, Sandra Ponzanesi, Richard Rice, Mireille Rosello, Marguerite Waller

Recenzii

'Postcolonial Cinema Studies will be a major contribution to postcolonial research and cinematic scholarship and is on the "leading edge" of its field.' - Dr Imogen Tyler, Lancaster University, UK
'Postcolonial Cinema Studies argues that current experiences of migration, economic exploitation, militarization, racial and religious conflicts, and tensions between citizens and non-citizens are haunted by colonial and neocolonial histories globally. Impressive in its scope and its attention to diverse cinematic dimensions, the book is an important intervention in cinema and postcolonial studies.' -Katarzyna Marciniak, Ohio University, USA
'This book is a significant contribution to the study of postcolonial cinema and beyond. Global in scope yet thorough in its rigorous investigation of specific case studies of national, transnational and glocal cinemas, this book will probably be considered one of the definitive texts on postcolonial cinema for many years to come.' - Yosefa Loshitzky, University of East London, UK
'Postcolonial Cinema Studies is an essential book that orchestrates an enriching dialogue between postcolonial studies and cinema studies, in ways that mutually illuminate both fields. Interdisciplinary and transnational, the volume goes beyond the usual Anglo-phone boundaries. Not only does it stretch the corpus of films to be studied, it also productively counterpoints theories, methodologies, and regions.' - Ella Shohat, New York University, USA and Robert Stam, Tisch School of the Arts, USA
'Postcolonial Cinema Studies is a fresh, innovative and significant contribution to scholarship which furthers debates on the relationship between postcolonialism and other critical and epistemological frameworks. Engaging with urgent questions about contemporary neocolonial powers, the book offers interesting and provocative perspectives on contemporary postcolonial cinema.' - Mariangela Palladino, Journal of Postcolonial Writing
‘[translated from Italian]Postcolonial Cinema Studies has the merit to put into focus some critical issues on the relationship between post-colonial theories and cinema . This is a book that lends itself to different interpretations and uses; certainly a general manual on "post colonial cinema", it can also be used to approach more specific subjects, such as Nollywood production or Italian Colonial Cinema …’ -Daniele Comberiati, Rivista Incontri, The Netherlands
'...this collection will be an invaluable tool for teachers and scholars alike, particularly for the way it will help jumpstart a discussion of the way cinema has been key in representing, and thus reproducing, both the colonial and postcolonial identity.' - Luca Caminati, Journal of Italian Cinema and Media Studies
'Characterized by hybridity, porosity and unstable concepts of identity, postcolonial cinema offers a valuable site of resistance to violent territorial and hegemonic ideologies that deserves to be recognized as an effective tool for political action. Postcolonial Cinema Studies makes an excellent case for that recognition and is likely to be useful for anyone who wishes to navigate the complex legacies of our colonial pasts in a necessarily critical and creative manner.' - Milica Trakilović, European Journal of Women's Studies

The edited volume is effective in its balance of disciplines, sources and trends. Moreover, it addresses implicitly some of the limits of postcolonialism. By focusing on political cinema in some of its chapters, the book takes seriously the challenge of re-politicizing the field. In this way, the book is an answer to the 'productive crisis' of postcolonial theory and expresses strong beliefs...It has the merit to show us the contribution that cinema can offer to postcolonial studies, and the need for cinema studies for a postcolonial gaze. The book embodies the cross-fertilization between both.' Matthias De Groof, Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television

Descriere

This collection of essays foregrounds the work of filmmakers in theorizing and comparing postcolonial conditions, recasting debates in both cinema and postcolonial studies. Postcolonial cinema is presented, not as a rigid category, but as an optic through which to address questions of postcolonial historiography, geography, subjectivity, and epistemology.
Current circumstances of migration and immigration, militarization, economic exploitation, racial and religious conflict, enactments of citizenship, and cultural self-representation have deep roots in colonial/postcolonial/neocolonial histories. Contributors deeply engage the tense asymmetries bequeathed to the contemporary world by the multiple,diverse, and overlapping histories of European, Soviet, U.S., and multi-national imperial ventures. With interdisciplinary expertise, they discover and explore the conceptual temporalities and spatialities of postcoloniality, with an emphasis on the politics of form, the ‘postcolonial aesthetics’ through which filmmakers challenge themselves and their viewers to move beyond national and imperial imaginaries.
