It explores how James Bond established itself as a global standard for action-spy film making and even as a minor global cinema (i.e. imagining), and hot the franchise subsequently inspired a series of genre bending, blending, and breaking in local visual and some literary contexts (i.e. reimagining and transplanting). The chapters in this collection consider how the world is envisaged in the official series and subsequently reinterpreted on local and regional levels and how investments with alternative meanings might run counter to the dominant representational and geo-political logics of the novels and filmic texts. Global James Bond is a starting point for further conversation and exchange over an extraordinary film franchise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e Foreword: Is the World Enough For James Bond?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMonica Germanà\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Global James Bond\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLisa Funnell and Klaus Dodds\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I: Interplay of Global and Local\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1.
