>
> Deleuze?s Cinema books continue to cause 
> controversy. Although they offer radical new 
> ways of understanding cinema, his conclusions 
> often seem strikingly Eurocentric. Deleuze and 
> World Cinemas explores what happens when 
> Deleuze?s ideas are brought into contact with 
> the films he did not discuss, those from Europe 
> and the USA (from Georges Méliès to Michael 
> Mann) and a range of world cinemas ? including 
> Bollywood blockbusters, Hong Kong action movies, 
> Argentine melodramas and South Korean science 
> fiction movies. These emergent encounters 
> demonstrate the need for the constant adaptation 
> and reinterpretation of Deleuze?s findings if 
> they are to have continued relevance, especially 
> for cinema?s contemporary engagement with the 
> aftermath of the Cold War and the global dominance of neoliberal globalization.
