European Cinema: Inside Out

Images of the Self and the Other in Postcolonial European Film. Edited by Guido Rings & Rikki Morgan-Tamosunas.

16 essays by German, British, French, Italian, Spanish, Serbian and American scholars explore European Cinema as a creative arena within which issues of cultural identity are articulated and negotiated. They shed light on the hybridic nature of contemporary Europe in relation to its colonial past and multi-cultural present. The interdisciplinary approach of this collection seeks to elucidate some of the ways in which postcolonial identities and subjectivities are articulated within European film texts and is as such addressed to readers in contemporary Film Studies as well as European Cultural Studies and Postcolonial Studies. The book is structured by four chapters: 1. Representing Intercultural Encounters; 2. Remapping 'Peoplescapes'; 3. Gendering the Other; 4. Engaging with the Past. 262 Seiten, gebunden (Anglistische Forschungen; Vol. 322/Universitätsverlag Winter 2003)
