[ecrea] New Book: Portugal's Global Cinema

Fri Nov 17 17:11:17 GMT 2017





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*
