The experiences of British colonialism in Ireland and India are marked by many commonalities, not least in terms of colonial and indigenous imaginings of the relationships between colony or former colony and imperial metropolis. Cinematic representations of Ireland and India display several parallels in their expressions and contestations of visions of Empire and national identity. This book offers a critical approach to the study of Ireland's colonial and postcolonial heritage through a comparative exploration of such filmic visions, yielding insights into the operations of colonial, nationalist and postcolonial discourse.\u003cbr\u003e Drawing on postcolonial and cultural theory and employing Bakhtin's concept of dialogism, the author engages in close readings of a broad range of metropolitan and indigenous films spanning an approximately fifty-year period, exploring the complex relationships between cinema, colonialism, nationalism and postcolonialism and examining their role in the (re)construction of Irish and Indian identities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeannine Woods\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3039119745\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783039119745\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang UK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Jeannine Woods","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46881174618367,"sku":"9783039119745","price":74.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e03f4b15-f1ab-4f2e-ad0d-f5c0f4d64515.jpg?v=1747970900","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/visions-of-empire-and-other-jeannine-woods-9783039119745","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
