Migrants' Perspectives, Migrants in Perspective
Edinburgh University Press (Verlag)
9781474456760 (ISBN)
Presenting the depiction of migration through a variety of cinematic outlets, this volume explores film’s depiction of human displacement in different geographic circumstances and probes the reasons why cinema so frequently evokes a stereotype of in-transit people. Techniques of affect and distance are revealed in the contributors’ close film studies of wide-ranging matter which include works by the Dardenne brothers, transnational video artists Ghazel and Bouchra Khalili, and studies of Syrian films at Western festivals.
Migrants’ Perspective, Migrants in Perspective: World Cinema deciphers the semiotics of migration and its representation in cinema, exploring both the complications of shooting a migrant subject, and the challenges of including the migrants’ point of view.
Dr Nicole Wallenbrock is Assistant Professor of French at Syracuse University Professor Frank Jacob is Professor of Global History at Nord University.
