Beskrivning
This title brings Deleuze's writings on cinema into contact with world cinema, drawing on examples ranging from Georges Melies to Michael Mann. "Deleuze's Cinema books" continue to cause controversy. Although they offer radical new ways of understanding cinema, his conclusions often seem strikingly Eurocentric. "Deleuze and World Cinemas" explores what happens when Deleuze's ideas are brought into contact with the films he did not discuss, those from Europe and the USA (from Georges Melies to Michael Mann) and a range of world cinemas - including Bollywood blockbusters, Hong Kong action movies, Argentine melodramas and South Korean science fiction movies. These emergent encounters demonstrate the need for the constant adaptation and reinterpretation of Deleuze's findings if they are to have continued relevance, especially for cinema's contemporary engagement with the aftermath of the Cold War and the global dominance of neoliberal globalization.

Recensioner i media

This monograph is an ambitious, yet well executed project... Martin-Jones makes an important and precise contribution to Deleuzian scholarship, despite the broad and expansive nature of the topic at hand. As the global film industry has evolved and become more interconnected since the 1980s, we must refresh our ideas about the de/ reterritorialised flows of this global rhizome... Rather than letting Deleuzian scholarship remain confined in Eurocentric boundaries, Martin-Jones is allowing a morphogenetic response from the Cinema books criticism to a wider, global range of films... My final thought on this book is that it is lucid, well structured, simple and effective... Martin-Jones has written a thought-provoking and provocative monograph.
