Beschreibung
The attempt to produce films for the international market
has led to lively exchange relationships and meeting points
between local as well as national identity discourses and
global processes of identity formation. Co-productions alone
can no longer be seen as an incentive for national cultural
production. Rather, it is necessary to regard co-productions
as a privileged site for an analysis of the relations
between identity, nation and culture. –
Transnational Cinema in Europe is the result of a
collaboration of two research groups in Madrid and Vienna.
The volume consists of articles by members of both research
groups as well as by several experts who were generously
willing to write about co-productions that were not the
cooperation’s purpose.
Manuel Palacio is Professor of Television and
Film History at Carlos III University of Madrid.
Jörg Türschmann is Professor for French and Spanish
Literature and Media at the Department of Romance Studies,
University of Vienna.
