Moving across a vast array of geographical, historical, and theoretical contexts-from Japanese colonial filmmaking to the French New Wave to contemporary artists' moving image-the essays collected here address the aesthetic, political, and industrial significance of multilingualism in film production and reception. In grouping these works together, \u003ci\u003eThe Multilingual Screen\u003c\/i\u003e discerns and emphasizes the areas of study most crucial to forging a renewed understanding of the relationship between cinema and language diversity. In particular, it reassesses the methodologies and frameworks that have influenced the study of filmic multilingualism to propose that its force is also, and perhaps counterintuitively, a silent one. While most studies of the subject have explored linguistic difference as a largely audible phenomenon-manifested through polyglot dialogues, or through the translation of monolingual dialogues for international audiences-\u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eMultilingual Screen\u003c\/i\u003e traces some of its unheard histories, contributing to a new field of inquiry based on an attentiveness to multilingualism's work beyond the soundtrack.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tijana Mamula\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501302876\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501302879\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.20d","brand":"Tijana Mamula","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47425297285375,"sku":"9781501302879","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0dfff5fa-e465-44fb-a627-7a1dc5592d8a.jpg?v=1761538271","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-multilingual-screen-tijana-mamula-9781501302879","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
