- Title
WORLD CINEMA 3.0? THE "WORLD AS BACKDROP" FOR A MULTIMEDIAL AGE.
- Authors
GUHA, MALINI
- Abstract
The early literature on World Cinema, much of which funnelled moving-image cultures into the categorical imperatives of national cinemas, is indicative of the limitations of a place-based approach to the subject. "World Cinema 2.0," a scholarly reboot of the sub-field, was conceived as a response to these limitations. The rubric of circulation is a key method utilized by scholars affiliated with this renewal of World Cinema, which emphasizes how films are mobilized across vast networks that span material and virtual channels. This article asks the question of whether a new-found limitation of the term lies in its emphasis on cinema, taking the example of Kolkata- based "middle-of-the-road" cinema as a case study.
