Revue de presse :
Mariana Lizs Euro-Visions undertakes the ambitious but necessary task of offering readers a multifaceted analysis of the evolution of the European Union, its political, economic, and cultural policies in which MEDIA (Measures to Encourage the Development of the Audio-Visual Industry) plays a significant, if also, a contentious role. --Marcia Landy, Distinguished Professor Emerita of English/Film Studies, French and Italian Languages and Literatures Department, the University of Pittsburgh, USA
In Euro-Visions, the many strands of European cinema come together concepts and narratives, genres and styles, industry matters and economic concerns. Building on the dialectical interplay of the itinerant and the stagnant, Mariana Liz guides the reader on a filmic journey against the diverse backdrop of Europe's ideological and representational complexity. --Dina Iordanova, Professor of Global Cinema and Creative Cultures, University of St Andrews, UK
Présentation de l'éditeur :
European cinema not only occupies a dominant place in film history, it is also a field that has been raising more interest with the expanding work on the transnational. Euro-Visions asks what idea of Europe emerges, is represented and constructed by contemporary European film. Adopting a broad and wide-ranging approach, Euro-Visions mixes political sources, historical documents and filmic texts and offers an integration of policy and economic contexts with textual analysis. Mariana Liz examines costume dramas, biopics and war films, mainstream co-productions and tales of Fortress Europe by renowned auteurs, showing how films from different European nations depict and contribute to the formation of the idea of Europe. Case studies include Girl with a Pearl Earring, La Vie en Rose, Black Book, Good Bye Lenin!, Match Point and The Silence of Lorna.
