Beskrivning

Global London on screen presents a mélange of films by directors from the Global South and North, portraying everyday life to the more fantastical, odious, or extraordinary in terms of circumstances as captured cinematically in this superdiverse city. This book portrays a segment of such superdiversity by historicising and theorising various cinematic reproductions of London by filmmakers coming to this megacity from abroad. As visitors, cosmopolitans, or even migrant filmmakers, their treatment of London’s zonal locations as both foreign and familiar is fascinating; their narratives and visualisations of London’s spatial and architectural uniqueness is given a sojourners’ touch; while other foreign filmmakers showcase and sometimes problematise London’s socio-cultural globality and locality as both British and a city open (and sometimes closed off) to the world.

Recensioner i media

'This collection opens up vistas to what is often forgotten or not seen in a global city like London. The contributors reveal deep histories of the different Londons on screen, and their profound knowledge about the subject make this a great read.'Saskia Sassen, The Robert S. Lind Professor of Sociology, Columbia University'The originality of this collection's contribution is its focus on filmed London as a global space... The contributors examine these questions richly and diversly, reflecting on how 'globality' slides often ambivalently across multiculturalism, cosmopolitanism, imperial legacy migration and neoliberal flows of global capital and labour.’The London Journal: A Review of Metropolitan Society Past and Present
