More about the book

The book delves into the complexities of "film languages," particularly in the context of postcoloniality and national identity. Author John Mowitt critiques Eurocentrism's influence on foreign language films and multiculturalism, proposing a broader framework for film studies that transcends traditional linguistics and psychoanalysis. Through analyses of bilingual films by Sembene Ousmane and Jorge Sanjines, it explores the interplay of poetics and politics in global cinema, urging a reevaluation of how cultural forms are classified and understood within the evolving landscape of film and media studies.
