Magic realism is vast in scope, spanning almost a century, and is often confused with neighbouring styles of literature or art, most notably surrealism. The fascinating conditions of modernist Europe are complex and contradictory, a spirit that magic realism has taken on as it travels far and wide. The filmmakers and writers in this book acknowledge the importance of feeling, atmosphere, and mood to subtly provoke and resist global capitalism. Theirs is the history of magic-realist cinema. The book explores this history through the modernist avant-garde in search of a new theory of cinematic magic realism. It uncovers a resistant, geopolitical form of world cinema - moving from Europe, through Latin America, and the former Soviet Union, to Thailand, that emerges from these ideas. This book is invaluable to any reader interested in world modernism(s) in relation to contemporary cinema and geopolitics. Its sustained analysis of film as a sensory, intermedial medium, is of interest to scholars working across the visual arts, literature, critical theory and film-philosophy"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Experimental films $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Magic realism (Art) $x Influence. 650 0 $a Magic realism (Literature) $x Influence. 650 0 $a Arts, Modern $y 20th century. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Gee, Felicity, $t Magic realism, world cinema and the avant-garde $d Abingdon, Oxon ; New York : Routledge, 2021. $z 9781315312811 $w (DLC) 2020041596 830 0 $a Remapping world cinema (Routledge (Firm)) 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230302014646.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B8A950F225A111EC99F17AB23DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
