How has this event shaped the imagination of contemporary filmmakers, and how might one define the new national cinema that has emerged as a result? This book explores such questions by analysing a range of Greek-Cypriot films that have hitherto received little or no critical discussion.\u003cbr\u003e The book adopts a predominantly conceptual approach, situating contemporary Greek-Cypriot cinema within a specific cultural and national context. Drawing on the work of the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze, and particularly his theories of time and space, the author explores ways in which Greek-Cypriot directors invent new forms of imagery as a way of dealing with the crisis of history, the burden of memory and the dislocation of the island’s abandoned spaces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents: Nation, Identity, History – Reading Greek-Cypriot Cinema: Deleuze and New Cinema – Conceptualizing Greek-Cypriot Cinema – Contesting the Nation’s Narrative Space and Time: The \u003ci\u003eAkamas \u003c\/i\u003eControversy – Shattered Spaces and the Recollection-Image – The Time-Image and Beyond: From Duration to the Crisis-Image – Constructing Heterotopias in Film: Parallel Spaces and Undesirable Bodies in \u003ci\u003eKalabush \u003c\/i\u003e– The Border, Movement and Chronotopic-Images.","brand":"Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043623633239,"sku":"9783034309882","price":54.63,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783034309882.jpg?v=1750958918","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/time-and-space-in-contemporary-greek-cypriot-cinema-9783034309882","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
