Milja Radovic

Transnational Cinema and Ideology

Representing Religion, Identity and Cultural Myths

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book is positioned within the emerging field of transnational cinema, and offers a groundbreaking study of the relationship between transnational cinema and ideology. The book focuses in particular on the complex ways in which religion, identity and cultural myths interact in specific cinematic representations of ideology. Radovic illustrates the ways in which these issues, represented and framed by films, are transmitted beyond their nation-state borders and local ideologies in which they originated - and questions whether therefore one can have an understanding of transnational cinema as a platform for political dialogue.
