Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Using succinct, informative case studies and with crystal clear writing International Politics and Film provides an important (even, urgent) account of the co-constitutive relationship between film and international politics. Cogent and lively readings of a wide range of important political films will help further open channels of communication between the disciplines of film studies and International Relations. The authors make a persuasive argument for the relevance of international relations to film studies and vice versa, and the book should be considered essential reading for students and scholars of both disciplines. -- Guy Westwell, Queen Mary, University of London; author of War Cinema: Hollywood on the Front Line (2006) and Parallel Lines: Post-9/11 American Cinema (2014)

Reseña del editor:

International Politics and Film introduces readers to the representational qualities of film but also draws attention to how the relationship between the visual and the spatial is constitutive of international politics. Using four themes-borders, the state of exception, homeland and distant others-the territorial and imaginative dimensions of international affairs in particular are highlighted. But this volume also makes clear that international politics is not just something "out there"; film helps us better understand how it is also part of everyday life within the state-affecting individuals and communities in different ways depending on axes of difference such as gender, race, class, age, and ethnicity.
