Beskrivning
Aligned with the decolonising impulse of scholarship in area studies that has challenged the view that film theory emanates from the West to the rest of the world, this volume nonetheless develops in a new and properly global direction a field that is still largely nationally and regionally bounded. Positing film theory as global, multiple and coeval, contributors consider how film theory is generated and circulates within and between different international locales from the 1910s to the present. The book envisages alternative archaeologies, genealogies and geographies of theory, charting its existence not only in different writings but also through exchanges and encounters across divergent sites and practices. By broadening the study and understanding of where and how film theory materialises, the collection interrogates afresh what film theory is. In so doing, Global Circulations of Film Theory presents the most extensive exploration to date of film theory in a global frame.

Recensioner i media

"Accounts of film theory—its canons, definitions, histories, and locations—have long reproduced imperialist narratives and hierarchies. Bringing together an international network of researchers, this indispensable volume offers a much-needed reconsideration within a global and decolonial framework. Unprecedented in geohistorical scope, it is an essential resource for the field."
