[ecrea] European Cinema in Motion - NEW book - paperback edition

The anthology European Cinema in Motion: Migrant and Diasporic Film in 
Contemporary Europe (eds. Daniela Berghahn and Claudia Sternberg) is now 
available in paperback.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/European-Cinema-Motion-Palgrave-Studies/dp/1137390190/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1400599410&sr=8-1&keywords=european+cinema+in+motion

Transnational mobility and migration are amongst the most powerful 
forces of social transformation in the contemporary world. Over the past 
three decades, representations of migrant and diasporic experiences and 
the dynamics of postmodern multiculturalism have assumed a prominent 
position in European mainstream and art house cinema. Filmmakers with a 
migratory background have brought about the World Cinema turn in 
European cinema by introducing new narratives and by fusing Western and 
non-Western aesthetic traditions. European Cinema in Motion develops an 
original theory of migrant and diasporic cinema and provides an overview 
of its cultural and industrial contexts in Europe.  Representative case 
studies of more than eighty films adopt a comparative perspective in the 
search for the commonalities and differences between productions from 
Western, Southern and Eastern Europe. The contributions reflect the wide 
spectrum of this important new field at the interface of 
(trans)national, European and World Cinema.

The paperback edition comes with a new Preface which provides an 
overview of recent developments in the field of transnational cinema. It 
provides a succinct and informative account of scholarly debates that 
emerged since the publication of the hardback edition in 2010, paying 
particular attention to new publications between 2010 and 2013. The 
preface also explores how, in recent years migrant and diasporic cinema 
has become more mainstream, both in terms of box office figures as well 
as in terms of setting an aesthetic agenda that has influenced 
mainstream cinema.


Best wishes,

Daniela Berghahn
