Overview
This volume presents varied approaches concerning the relation between cinema and politics which focus on policies, eras, countries, mainstream and art cinema productions, transnational examples, changing narratives and identities. Both cinema and politics have actors and directors for their scenes, and in this sense their discourses intermingle. The performances of the ""actors/actresses"" in both arenas attract particular attention. The actors, directors, and producers with 'hyphenated/creolised/hybrid identities' such as German-Turks, directors of Balkan cinema, or Italian filmmakers of Turkish origin give a wide and refreshing perspective to the discussion of Europe in the media. What these 'mediated identities' represent goes beyond the limits of the old Europe, towards the different sensitivity of the New Europe.Scholars and advanced students of Film Studies, European Studies, Identity Politics, Migration / Emigration and Gender Studies will find this volume of integral importance to their work.
