Nationalism in Contemporary Western European Cinema, Hardback Book

Nationalism in Contemporary Western European Cinema Hardback

Edited by James Harvey

Part of the Palgrave European Film and Media Studies series

Hardback

Description

This book investigates screen representations of 21st century nationalism—arguably the most urgent and apparent phenomenon in the Western world today.

The chapters explore recurrent thematic and stylistic features of 21st century western European cinema, and analyse the ways in which film responds to contemporary developments of mounting tensions and increasing hostilities to difference.

The collection blends incisive sociological and historical engagement with close textual analysis of many types of screen media, including popular cinema, art-house productions, low-budget independent work, documentary and video installation.

Identifying motifs of nationhood and indigeneity throughout, the contributors of this volume present important perspectives and a timely cultural response to the contemporary moment of nationalism.
