Content: Rethinks cinematic journeys through history, globalisation, form and genreHonourable Mention - BAFTSS Best Edited Collection Award 2020!Addressing the appeal of the journey narrative from pre-cinema to new media and through documentary, fiction and the spaces between, this collection reveals the journey to be a persistent presence across cinema and in cultural modernity. Drawing on examples from different regions and cultures that traverse art and genre cinema, the book explores the journey as a motif for something wider, a metaphor for self-discovery and social transformation, and evidence of autonomy and progress (or their lack). Illuminating areas of global movement, belonging, diaspora and memory, these essays document epochal changes in human behaviour, from urbanisation, migration and war to tourism and shopping.ContributorsStefano Baschiera, Queen’s University BelfastLouis Bayman, University of SouthamptonCarlo Cenciarelli, Cardiff UniversityMaurizio Cinquegrani, University of KentClelia Clini, Loughborough UniversityAnna Cooper, University of ArizonaTiago de Luca, University of WarwickAlan Freeman, University of KentChris Fujiwara, film critic and programmerHajnal Király, Eötvös Lóránd University of BudapestLucy Mazdon, University of SouthamptonEwa Mazierska, University of Central LancashireEva Näripea, Tallinn UniversityMichael Pigott, University of WarwickNatalia Pinazza, University of ExeterLázsló Strausz, Eötvös Lóránd University of Budapest"
