Description: Refocus: the Films of Annemarie Jacir by Iqra Shagufta Cheema, Stefanie Van de Peer Takes a transnational, feminist approach to the oeuvre of Palestinian director,Annemarie Jacir FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book offers a transnational, internationalist-feminist approach to the oeuvre of award-winning director, writer, and curator, Annemarie Jacir.Palestinian film culture is unique due to its geopolitical circumstances, including continued colonialism and occupation, and the refugeeship of its citizens. The scholarship on the politics of film and its role in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict including activist work, international solidarity films, and work on Palestinian documentaries is usually defined by historical overviews of geopolitical events and developments. In contrast, this book offers an auteur-focused study of a global artist influenced by but not limited to the political discourse surrounding the Occupied Palestinian Territories.Jacir is a Palestinian woman whose work is recognised globally as innovative, politically challenging, and genre-crossing. The book offers an in-depth study of her films and other works by locating it in a geospatial, sociocultural, and critical theoretical framework. It critically analyses Annemarie Jacirs development as an artist, filmmaker, and curator of film. Author Biography Iqra Shagufta Cheema is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Middle Tennessee State University.Stefanie Van de Peer is Reader in Film & Media at Queen Margaret University Review "This is a well-documented study which offers an intimate vision of the evolution of Jacirs film oeuvre, and how Palestinian cinema and audio-visual practices can become acts of resistance exposing the incongruous cultural memories of diverse Palestinian generations and their struggles for the homeland, freedom, and transnational identity in exile." -Ihab Saloul, Author of Catastrophe and Exile in the Modern Palestinian Imagination: Telling Memories Details ISBN1474480918 Author Stefanie Van de Peer Pages 176 Publisher Edinburgh University Press Year 2023 ISBN-13 9781474480918 Format Hardcover Publication Date 2023-11-30 Imprint Edinburgh University Press Place of Publication Edinburgh Country of Publication United Kingdom NZ Release Date 2023-11-30 UK Release Date 2023-11-30 ISBN-10 1474480918 Illustrations 9 B/W illustrations 9 b&w images Series ReFocus: The International Directors Series Audience Tertiary & Higher Education DEWEY 791.430233092 AU Release Date 2024-02-14 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
