Overview
- Offers a new approach that blends and expands upon national cinema studies, the author theory, and genre theory
- Analyzes films and television series across European and American traditions, such as The Battle of Algiers, Even the Rain, Homeland, No, The Parallax View, and Gomorrah
- Explores the careers of actors Gian Maria Volonté and Gael García Bernal in the light of transnational stardom theory
- Examines the centrality of investigative cinema in relation to the historical conjunctures of the “economic miracle” in Italy, the simultaneous decolonization and reordering of culture in France, the waves of globalization and neoliberalism in post-dictatorial Latin America, and the post-Watergate, and post-9/11 climate in US society
