Digital Space and Embodiment in Contemporary Cinema Screening Composite Spaces

Digital Space and Embodiment in Contemporary Cinema Screening Composite Spaces

Digital Space and Embodiment in Contemporary Cinema examines how contemporary cinema has represented and engaged with the experience of simultaneously inhabiting digital and material spaces (i. e. composite spaces) in the context of the growing ubiquitousness of digital media and culture. Bringing together a range of key cinematic texts the book examines how these films represent composite space by depicting—often subtly and without explicit reference to technology—what it feels like to live in a world of ubiquitous digital media. The book explores composite spaces through the striking use of elements like colour symbolic graphics and music and covers topics like: music as mediator between levels of experience/perception in visionary films such as Sucker Punch (2011) and Spring Breakers (2012); digital colour as an interface in films including Under the Skin (2013); the integration of digital graphical elements drawn from game spaces into material spaces in films such as Scott Pilgrim vs The World (2010) and Nerve (2016); and films that take place on a computer screen including 2020’s widely discussed Zoom-produced pandemic horror film Host. Through the close analysis of these films the book offers fresh perspectives on conceptual issues of embodiment digital agency and subjectivity. This book is a valuable resource for advanced undergraduates postgraduates and scholars in the fields of film studies digital aesthetics and film theory digital culture and digital media. | Digital Space and Embodiment in Contemporary Cinema Screening Composite Spaces

Student Migration from Eastern to Western Europe

Student Migration from Eastern to Western Europe

This book explores European student migration from the perspectives of Eastern European students moving to Western Europe for study. Whilst most research on student migration in Europe focuses on the experiences of Western European students this book uniquely casts a light on Eastern European student migrants moving to the ‘West’. Mette Ginnerskov-Dahlberg deploys a novel approach to the subject by drawing on insights gleaned from a longitudinal study of master's students pursuing an education abroad and their multifaceted journeys after graduation. Thereby she brings their narratives to life and highlights the changes and continuities they experienced over a period of seven years fostering an understanding of student mobility as an activity enmeshed with adult commitments and long-term aspirations. Using Denmark as a case study of a host country Ginnerskov-Dahlberg analyses the trajectories of these students and situates their experiences within the wider socio-historical context of Eastern European post-socialism and the contemporary dynamics between EU and non-EU citizens in the welfare state of Denmark – reflecting issues playing out on the global stage today. This book will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of migration and mobility studies as well as human geography sociology higher education area studies and anthropology. | Student Migration from Eastern to Western Europe

Non-Western Nations and the Liberal International Order Responding to the Backlash in the West

Non-Western Nations and the Liberal International Order Responding to the Backlash in the West

Given the increasing presence of non-Western nations in global affairs Hiro Katsumata and Hiroki Kusano explore their responses to the backlash taking place in the West against the global spread of liberalism – against the global spread of free trade multilateral institutions and liberal-democratic politics. Katsumata and Kusano concentrate on the cases of Egypt Brazil Japan ASEAN members Russia and China. Mounted by these non-Western nations are three kinds of responses: illiberal bandwagoning counter-backlash and thirdway charting. Each of these responses inevitably has significant consequences for the fate of the existing liberal international order established and sustained by the Western countries in the post-war era either accelerating the collapse of this order by causing additional damage to it or putting the brakes on its collapse by giving support to it. An invaluable resource for scholars in International Relations and Comparative Politics. | Non-Western Nations and the Liberal International Order Responding to the Backlash in the West
