How does postcolonial theory recast the debates in cinema studies, and with what aesthetic, economic and political implications?

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
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.
