{"product_id":"9781841504520","title":"The Cinema of Mika Kaurismäki: Transvergent Cinescapes, Emergent Identities","description":"Mika Kaurismäki’s films challenge many boundaries – national societies, genre formations, art\/popular culture, fiction\/documentary, humanity\/nature, and problematic distinctions between different zones of development. Synthesizing concepts from a range of thematic frameworks – e.g. auteurism, eco-philosophy, genre, cartography, cineaste networks, global reception, distribution and exhibition practices, and the potential of postnationalism – this book provides an interdisciplinary reading of Kaurismäki’s cinema. The notion of ‘transvergence’ – of thinking in heterogeneous and polyphonal terms – emerges as an analytical method for exploring the power of these films. Through this, the volume encourages rethinking transnational cinema studies in relation to many oft-debated notions such as Finnish culture, European identity, cosmopolitanism and globalization.","brand":"Intellect Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47180867436784,"sku":"9781841504520","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781841504520_p0.jpg?v=1763741146","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781841504520","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
