Description de l'ouvrage:
Film and television offer important insights into social outlooks on borders in France and Europe more generally. This book undertakes a visual cultural history of contemporary borders through a film and television tour. It traces on-screen borders from the Gare du Nord train station in Paris to Calais, London, Lampedusa and Lapland. It contends that different types of mobilities and immobilities (refugees, urban commuters, workers in a post-industrial landscape) and vantage points (from borderland forests, ports, train stations, airports, refugee centers) are all part of a complex French and European border narrative. It covers a wide range of examples, from popular films and TV series to auteur fiction and documentaries by well-known directors from across Europe and beyond.

À propos de l'auteur :
Michael Gott is Professor of French and Niehoff Professor of Film & Media Studies at the University of Cincinnati

Revue de Presse:
'This book is a welcome and wide-ranging intervention in the field of trans - national film and television studies. Readers... will emerge with a rich, complex, and nuanced vantage point on recent European media production from within and without.'
The French Review
