Title: Film history and national cinema
Description: "This is the second volume of papers from the Irish Postgraduate Film Research Seminar, designed to encourage Irish film scholarship and the study of Irish film. This year's papers include new research on a wide range of topics, including Irish, British, American and Asian film. There is a particular emphasis upon the representation of the past in contemporary film as well as fresh interpretations of Irish and British film history. The volume also includes a keynote piece on 'parochialism' in cinema studies by the distinguished Australian writer and critic Meaghan Morris. Intended to provide a platform for a growing body of work by young Irish scholars on Irish and other cinemas, this volume offers a stimulating discussion of national and international film."--Jacket.
