The Figure of the Migrant in Contemporary European Cinema

Autor Temenuga Trifonova
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 feb 2022
The Figure of the Migrant in Contemporary European Cinema explores contemporary debates around the concepts of 'Europe' and 'European identity' through an examination of recent European films dealing with various aspects of globalization (the refugee crisis, labour migration, the resurgence of nationalism and ethnic violence, neoliberalism, post-colonialism) with a particular attention to the figure of the migrant and the ways in which this figure challenges us to rethink Europe and its core Enlightenment values (citizenship, justice, ethics, liberty, tolerance, and hospitality) in a post-national context of ephemerality, volatility, and contingency that finds people desperately looking for firmer markers of identity. The book argues that a compelling case can be made for re-orienting the study of contemporary European cinema around the figure of the migrant viewed both as a symbolic figure (representing post-national citizenship, urbanization, the 'gap' between ethics and justice) and as a figure occupying an increasingly central place in European cinema in general rather than only in what is usually called 'migrant and diasporic cinema'. By drawing attention to the structural and affective affinities between the experience of migrants and non-migrants, Europeans and non-Europeans, Trifonova shows that it is becoming increasingly difficult to separate stories about migration from stories about life under neoliberalism in general

Recenzii

The Figure of the Migrant in Contemporary European Cinema offers an illuminating analysis of recent thinking on migration and European identity that is both probing and remarkably wide-ranging. Presenting a timely reappraisal of the question of Europe within film studies, Trifonova succeeds in repositioning representations of the migrant, that most peripheral of figures, as a central feature of European cinema.
