[Commlist] Journal of African Cinemas 18.1 published

Intellect is pleased to present Journal of African Cinemas 18.1!


In this issue of theJournal of African Cinemas, we are inspired by the 
idea of a ‘scalene triangle’, not as an object, but as a mnemonic for 
the disequilibrium, chaos, lack of harmony or consistency, variations on 
contexts and experiences; and within these, the different possibilities 
which we morph into the idea of Africa as represented in cinemas. The 
academic debates on the issue, by scholars from South Africa, Tanzania, 
Kenya, Nigeria, USA and China, represent a new effort to experiment with 
the African film to demonstrate the ‘unevenness’ of ideas about 
contemporary Africa as the truer possibility for grasping the 
continent’s cultural ontology.

Aims & Scope


The Journal of African Cinemasexplores the interactions of visual and 
verbal narratives in films from and about Africa, no matter where they 
are made. It encourages studies about production, reception and 
audiences, interpretation and theory, and history and technology. The 
journal recognises the shifting paradigms that have defined and continue 
to define African cinemas in relation to cinema everywhere, within 
diverse African languages and cultures. The editors invite papers on the 
perception and identity/identities of Africa and its peoples represented 
in film, in isolation or relation to other cinemas globally. The journal 
aims to create a forum for debate that will promote inter-disciplinarity 
between cinema and other visual and rhetorical forms of representation.
