World cinemas, transnational perspectives

The standard analytical category of "e;national cinema"e; has increasingly been called into question by the category of the "e;transnational."e; This anthology examines 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 World Cinemas, Transnational Perspectives cover the geopolitical imaginary, transnational cinematic institutions, and the uneven flow of words and images.
