Using Polish migration as a key example due to its long-standing cultural resonance across the continent, this book moves beyond a director-oriented approach and beyond the dominant focus on postcolonial migrant cinemas. It succeeds in being both transnational and longitudinal by including a diverse corpus of more than 150 films from some twenty different countries, of which Roman Polański’s \u003ci\u003eThe Tenant\u003c\/i\u003e, Jean-Luc Godard’s \u003ci\u003ePassion \u003c\/i\u003eand Krzysztof Kieślowski’s \u003ci\u003eTrois couleurs: Blanc\u003c\/i\u003e are the best-known examples. Engaging with contemporary debates on modernisation and Europeanisation, the author proposes the notion of “close Otherness” to delineate the liminal position of fictional characters with a Polish background. \u003ci\u003ePolish Migrants in European Film 1918-2017\u003c\/i\u003e takes the reader through a widerange of genres, from interwar musicals to Cold War defection films; from communist-era exile right up to the contemporary moment. It is suitable for scholars interested in European or Slavic studies, as well as anyone who is interested in topics such as identity construction, ethnic representation, East-West cultural exchanges and transnationalism. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2019-05-06\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030042172\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-04218-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 283\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45417860989068,"sku":"9783030042172","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030042172.jpg?v=1776619286","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030042172","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
