Cinema and nation / [edited by] Mette Hjort and Scott MacKenzie London New York: Routledge, 2000.
Call No: 408.1 CINAuthor: Hjort, Mette ; MacKenzie, Scott, 1967 Place: London New YorkPublisher: RoutledgePubDate: 2000PhysDes: xvi, 332 p., ill., 25 cmSubject: NATIONAL IDENTITY AND THE CINEMA ; COPRODUCTION. EUROPEAN COUNTRIES ; UNITED KINGDOM : SCOTLAND ; INDONESIA ; POLAND ; TURKEY ; INDIA ; GERMANY ; STATE AND THE CINEMA ; CAPRA, FRANK Summary: Leading film scholars, philosophers and sociologists consider the ways in which film production and reception are shaped by ideas of national identity and belonging. The contributors discuss a wide range of cinemas, in Europe, Asia and the Americas, exploring the relationship between nation states for both the concept and the reality of national cinema.
In the book’s first three sections, contributors explore sociological approaches to national identity, challenge established ideas about ‘national cinema’, and consider the ways in which national states – from the former Soviet Union to Contemporary Scotland – use cinema in their efforts to create a national cinema, and consider how images of the nation are understood by audiences both at home and abroad.
