| Abstract | "How might framing literature as eclipsed by more "advanced" media suppress and obscure minority discourses? How might film's rise as more popular and "globalizable" drive a nation's "soft power" to dominate political thinking? This volume asks how current divisions between media and scholarly fields reinforces global social inequalities. Chapters discuss film's relation to world literature by considering not only literary adaptations across nations, regions, languages, ideologies, and contexts, but also by exploring film's intersections with literary theory, narrative, history, genre, and experimentation. Contributors investigate how literature interiorizes film technologies, visual techniques, image formation, frame, indexicality, angle, the gaze and narrative pleasure"-- Provided by publisher |
