This collection offers new approaches to theorizing Asian film in relation to the history, culture, geopolitics and economics of the continent. Bringing together original essays written by established and emerging scholars, this anthology transcends the limitations of national borders to do justice to the diverse ways in which the cinema shapes Asia geographically and imaginatively in the world today. From the revival of the Silk Road as the “belt and road” of a rising China to historical ruminations on the legacy of colonialism across the continent, the authors argue that the category of “Asian cinema” from Turkey to the edges of the Pacific continues to play a vital role in cutting-edge film research. This handbook will serve as an essential guide for committed scholars, students, and all those interested in the past, present, and possible future of Asian cinema in the 21st century. .

This book focuses on the emerging historical relations between British television and film culture in the 1950's. Drawing upon archival research, it does this by exploring the development of the early cinema programme on television - principally Current Release (BBC, 1952-3), Picture Parade (BBC, 1956) and Film Fanfare (ABC, 1956-7) - and argues that it was these texts which played the central role in the developing relations between the media. Particularly when it comes to Britain, the early co-existence of television and cinema has been seen as hostile and antagonistic, but in situating these

Au cours de ces dernières décennies, l’économie du cinéma s’est profondément transformée dans ses modalités de diffusion et de valorisation. La salle reste un lieu privilégié d’exposition des films et un fondement essentiel de distinction symbolique, mais elle ne représente plus qu’une part minime des recettes, alors que la télévision est devenue prépondérante par ses débouchés comme par son financement. Cinéma et télévision entretiennent des relations ambiguës marquées par une étrange combinaison de concurrence et de coopération. L’étude de ce couple baroque permet de comprendre leurs modalités de fonctionnement respectives et leur imbrication dans la dynamique contemporaine des industries de la communication. L’analyse des évolutions mouvementées de Canal + et de Vivendi Universal conduit en particulier à mieux saisir les enjeux stratégiques de la filière cinématographique dans son ensemble. Dans cet ouvrage, la trouble conjonction entre cinéma et petit écran est également étudiée dans ses dimensions techniques et esthétiques : les déformations de l’image, les convergences et les effets de contagion, les rapports entre films et téléfilms, l’émergence de nouvelles formes d’hybridation. Plus généralement, en s’appuyant sur l’analyse de l’audience des films de cinéma à la télévision ou des pratiques de marketing, il s’agit d’étudier comment l’omniprésence du système télévisuel pour tout ce qui touche au financement, à la diffusion et à la promotion des films affecte le cinéma dans son architecture, dans son fonctionnement et dans son identité.

Contemporary European Science Fiction Cinemas charts the evolution of European science fiction cinema in the 21st century, a period in which Europe itself has faced myriad crises. Key to this study is an exploration of how European science fiction responds to prevalent issues such as the financial crisis, political extremism and violence, large-scale migration and indeed the potential breakup of the European Union itself. What futures does science fiction cinema envision for Europe? Is it capable of moving beyond dystopian visions of a continent beset by seemingly omnipresent turbulence? Emphasising science fiction’s unique ability to estrange, exploit and reflect upon popular concerns, this book directly engages with such questions, accounting for ongoing mutations in the very nature of the European project as it does so.

This groundbreaking book uses observations made by Marshall McLuhan to analyze the aesthetics of science fiction films, treating them as visual metaphors or probes into the new reality dominated by electronic media: - it considers the relations between the senses and sensuality in Blade Runner, the visually-tactile character of the film, and the status of replicants as humanity’s new clothes; - it analyzes the mixture of Eastern and Western aesthetics in Star Wars, analyzing Darth Vader as a combination of the literate and the tribal mindset; - it discusses the failure of visual society presented in the Terminator and Alien franchises, the rekindling of horror vacui, tribalism, and the desire to obliterate the past as a result of the simultaneity of the acoustic space; - finally, the book discusses the Matrix trilogy and Avatar as being deeply related in terms of the growing importance of tactility, easternization, tribalization, as well as connectivity and the implosion of human civilization.
