[ecrea] New book: Rethinking Genre in Contemporary Global Cinema

We are very pleased to announce the publication of /Rethinking Genre in 
Contemporary Global Cinema/ (Palgrave Macmillan, 2018), edited by Silvia 
Dibeltulo and Ciara Barrett.

/Rethinking Genre in Contemporary Global Cinema/offers a unique, 
wide-ranging exploration of the intersection between traditional modes 
of film production and new, transitional/transnational approaches to 
film genre and related discourses in a contemporary, global context. 
This volume’s content—the films, genres, and movements explored, as well 
as methodologies used in their analysis—is diverse and, crucially, 
up-to-date with contemporary film-making practice and theory. 
Significantly, the collection extends existing scholarly discourse on 
film genre beyond its historical bias towards a predominant focus on 
Hollywood cinema, on the one hand, and a tendency to treat “other” 
national cinemas in isolation and/or as distinct systems of production, 
on the other.

In view of the ever-increasing globalisation and transnational mediation 
of film texts and screen media and culture worldwide, the book 
recognises the need for film genre studies and film genre criticism to 
cast a broader, indeed global, scope. The collection thus rethinks genre 
cinema as a transitional, cross-cultural, and increasingly 
transnational, global paradigm of film-making in diverse contexts.
