Rencontre avec Guido Rings et présentation de son ouvrage : "The Other in Contemporary Migrant Cinema : Imagining a New Europe?"

The Other in Contemporary Migrant Cinema : Imagining a New Europe?

Guido Rings, Anglia Ruskin University, UK
Series: Routledge Advances in Film Studies

Contemporary political and media discourses observe and frequently also support the development of nationalist, eurosceptic and xenophobic reactions to European migrants. European cinema has developed and disseminated new transcultural and postcolonial alternatives that might help to improve integration and community cohesion in Europe, and this book investigates these alternatives in order to identify examples of good practices that can enhance European stability. The films examined share a fundamental interest in the Other, with particular consideration given to British, French, German, and Spanish productions, with a comparison of migration in Chicano cinema.
