Summary:A wide-ranging study of developments in global French-language cinemaThe first book devoted to a wide-ranging study of developments in global French-language cinema, from Quebec to Mauritania and from Belgium to Cambodia, Cinéma-monde picks up on the lively scholarly debates generated by the related topic of littérature-monde. Extending the scope of this debate to cover the thriving and diverse area of international French-language cinema, this innovative book also considers cinema from France within the context of global production. With contributions from an international range of specialists, and with considerations of works by contemporary directors like Rachid Bouchareb, Abderrahmane Sissako and Rithy Panh, Cinéma-monde explores the porous borders around francophone spaces and the ways in which languages and identities ‘travel’ in contemporary cinema.ContributorsJoseph Mai (Clemson University)Mireille Rosello (University of Amsterdam)Laura Reeck (Allegheny College)Dayna Oscherwitz (Southern Methodist University)Leslie Kealhofer-Kemp (University of Rhode Island)Michael Gott (University of Cincinnati)Vlad Dima (University of Wisconsin) Gemma King (Australian National University)Thibaut Schilt (College of the Holy Cross)Leïla Ennaïli (Central Michigan University)Alison Rice (University of Notre Dame)Jaime Steele (University of Exeter)Michelle Stewart (SUNY-Purchase)Carina Yervasi (Swarthmore College)Bill Marshall (University of Stirling)Lucy Mazdon (University of Southampton)Will Higbee (University of Exeter)
