Critical Perspectives on The Figurine","description":"Beginning from an auteur standpoint, this book interrogates extant cinematic re-presentation of African and Nigerian postcolonial realities in Nollywood. It makes a case, using Kunle Afolayan's The Figurine, for a critical space-clearing gesture around the notion of a neo-Nollywood, which transcends the formulaic cinematic re-presentation of African and Nigeriam realities to embrace a visionary and philosophic rearticualtion of the role of filmmaking, and of Nollywood, in the Nigerian imagination. The Idea of neo-Nollywood, and a visionary director, therefore stands at the core of a cinematic production process that challenges, disturbs and stimulates perceptions of current and future African identities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adeshina Afolayan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780698280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789780698287\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press, Nigeria\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/29\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.97d","brand":"Adeshina Afolayan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941378064639,"sku":"9789780698287","price":60.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_134ab756-c2ce-4cf9-a0fa-1188c6773185.jpg?v=1681452573","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/auteuring-nollywood-critical-perspectives-on-adeshina-afolayan-9789780698287","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
