With films such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000), The Motorcycle Diaries (2004), Oldboy (2003) and Good Bye Lenin! (2003), the state and popularity of world cinema has rarely been healthier. Remapping World Cinema explores many of the key critical and theoretical approaches and debates, including race, stardom, post-colonialism as well as national cinemas' relationship with Hollywood. Covering a broad scope, the book examines the cinemas of Africa, East Asia, India, Latin, Central and South America as well as the various territories of Europe.

Industry Reviews

'Remapping World Cinema is a valuable contribution to the critical interrogation and understanding of an increasingly important and central concept in cinema studies. Dennison and Lim have assembled a lively and provocative array of contributions from an appropriately international line up of scholars that not only confirm the richness and complexity of world cinema, but also provide a welcome reminder of the highly productive interface that exits between cinema studies and other disciplines - in this case area studies, modern languages and cultural studies.' - Duncan Petrie, University of Auckland 'At last a book that will really support and inform the study of world cinema as both practice and concept. This is a highly accessible but also original collection, filled with concise and compelling polemical pieces as well as detailed studies of national and regional cinemas from around the world. There is excellent historical coverage and an interesting consideration of a range of important, intersecting issues (gender, discourse, transnational identity, postmodernism and postcolonialism). In short, Remapping World Cinema is an essential addition to the burgeoning study of international films and film cultures.' - Catherine Grant, University of Kent
