Far-flung Families in Film : The Diasporic Family in Contemporary European Cinema
Far-Flung Families in Film represents the culmination of Berghahn’s two AHRC-funded research projects on migrant and diasporic cinema stretching back to 2005 (see:
www.migrantcinema.net and www.farflungfamilies.net). Drawing on an extensive body of interdisciplinary scholarship in diaspora studies, anthropology, socio-historical research on family and migration, cultural memory studies and genre criticism, the monograph generates a complex conceptualisation of diasporic families in European cinema in relation to both Hollywood and Bollywood. In so doing, it opens up productive intersections between scholarly discourses on hegemonic Western and minoritarian film cultures and develops a novel theoretical framework for the investigation of transnational cinema.
