>Continuity and change are the two major trends 
>that mark European film and media vistas today. 
>While continuity is the result of more than a 
>century of European film and media traditions, 
>change is brought about by technological 
>convergence, the evolution of globalization and 
>commercial markets, and the ever-expanding cultural borders of Europe .
>
>

>Shifting Landscapes: Film and Media in European 
>Context addresses a diversity of questions 
>pertaining to filmic and televisual media, text 
>and form, mediated politics, media policy, 
>globalisation, diasporic media, multiculturalism 
>and more. Employing film studies, critical 
>social theory and cultural studies and drawing 
>upon technological, spatial, political economic, 
>sociological and anthropological approaches, the 
>authors highlight the historical and 
>contemporary factors that have shaped, and 
>continue to shape, film and media in Europe .

>Ambitious in both its intellectual and 
>geographical scope, this volume provides us with 
>an innovative and original understanding of what

>Miyase Christensen and Nezih Erdogan have 
>edited an excellent book on film and media 
>landscapes in the "new" Europe of the early 
>twenty-first century. Incorporating eighteen 
>individual chapters in three parts, the book 
>re-examines what "European" media and cinema 
>means during a period in which the geographical 
>and cultural boundaries of " Europe " are still 
>shifting, the media themselves are deeply 
>influenced by the digital revolution, and 
>audiences for "film" are constantly re-defining 
>themselves. The book itself offers fresh 
>perceptions across a range of different fields 
>and should be of interest to all those 
>fascinated by current trends in both film and media.
