>What this book is about:
>
>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.
