Resumen del libro

This volume of essays combines new analyses of two subjects of ongoing research in the field of humanities: cinema and the visual arts. Originally presented at the American Comparative Literature Association Conference 2010 in New Orleans, the papers of this volume have been expanded and extended from their original points of enquiry, and analyse films from the diverse cultural traditions of China, Germany, the United Kingdom, America, Northern Ireland and India. The Chinese films analysed include Shanghai Express and The Goddess, whilst other featured films include Fritz Lang's M (from the German Expressionist art movement), Diamonds are Forever and Casino Royale. The essays also study films focusing on Northern Ireland, as well as the depiction of the Indian film industry through Indian writers, as well as Hong Kong cinema and East Asian cinema. The focus of the volume then switches to the visual arts, linked by an analysis of how Marjane Satrapi adapts the graphic novel and a paper explaining how the classificatory order for the visual arts and art history has long been rigorous in its demand for juxtapositions and comparisons. This is then followed by an examination of modernist abstract art, with a specific analysis of the importance of Gertrude Stein's Tender Buttons and the works of Manuel Rivas and Kara Walker. This collection will appeal to undergraduates and postgraduates enrolled in world cinema and visual arts courses at university level.
