Description

Transnational Ecocinema is part of emerging fields in film studies, focusing on transnational and ecocritical themes. This work features a wide range of films from both established and emerging filmmakers and industries, highlighting various national contexts. It also places emphasis on art and commercial cinema.

Ecocritical approaches are increasingly recognised and popular in the humanities. Until recently, discussion of Hollywood film has dominated much of the contemporary dialogue on ecocriticism and the cinema. With Transnational Ecocinema, the editors expand the critical debate by examining a larger variety of films from diverse countries and cultures.

By setting these films within their economic and political contexts, the contributors offer a more comprehensive and nuanced view of the role of place in ecocinema. The essays also question proposed global solutions to environmental issues, presenting an ecocritical perspective on various film and cultural considerations from around the world.
