Transnational Ecocinema: Film Culture in an Era of Ecological Transformation

Editat de Pietari Kääpä, Tommy Gustafsson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 iul 2013
Discussion of Hollywood film has dominated much of the contemporary dialogue on ecocriticism and the cinema—until now. WithTransnational Ecocinemas, the editors open up the critical debate to look at a larger variety of films from many different countries and cultures. By foregrounding these films with their economic and political contexts, the contributors offer a more comprehensive and nuanced look at the role of place in ecocinema. The essays also interrogate proposed global solutions to environmental issues by presenting an ecocritical perspective on different film cultural considerations from around the globe.
