[ecrea] New Book: Portugal's Global Cinema

PORTUGAL'S GLOBAL CINEMA is out now. Part of IB Tauris World Cinema 
Series, the book is edited by Mariana Liz and brings together chapters 
by researchers in Portugal, Brazil, the UK and the US, including Randal 
Johnson, Lúcia Nagib and Ginette Vincendeau, among others. Reflecting on 
the international character of contemporary Portuguese film, this 
collection rethinks the value of the nation in a globalised world, the 
importance of film festivals for 'small nation' cinemas, as well as 
notions of postcolonialism.

‘A superb collection of essays that rethinks the international meaning 
of recent Portuguese film and defines the theoretical stakes of studying 
and conceptualizing this “small nation’s” cinema, its fascinating film 
history and its innovative and provocative filmmakers.’ – *Estela 
Vieira, Indiana University Bloomington*

‘Addressing both auteurs and popular film, as well as matters of 
representation and of industry, this book – the first of its kind in 
English – illuminates and nuances key debates in the discipline, 
especially the rich dialogue between the national and the 
transnational.’ – *Sally Faulkner, University of Exeter
*
‘A timely volume with a coherent theoretical framework that will appeal 
to film scholars and students with an interest in Portuguese filmmaking, 
but equally inform understandings of ‘small’ national cinemas.’ – *Lisa 
Shaw, University of Liverpool*
