PREFACE
Cinema Studies is a comprehensive book that, is hoped, will provide students and researchers with film studies and other persons interested in cinema with a useful reference book on film analysis and, where relevant, the different discussions surrounding that. The contributors analyze some films using ideas and concerns from modernism, cinematographic narrative, ideology, propaganda, migration, nomadism, and the sense of revenge. The book provides new insights into films and turns the discussion towards recent research questions and analyses, representing and constituting in each contribution new work in the discipline of film text analysis.
Therefore, each chapter of this book, …

Migration Meets Bildung: Jenny Erpenbeck’S Go, Went, Gone, Lilla Balint, Landon Reitz
Migration Meets Bildung: Jenny Erpenbeck’S Go, Went, Gone, Lilla Balint, Landon Reitz
Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature
At the time of its publication, German writer Jenny Erpenbeck’s novel Go, Went, Gone (2017; Gehen, Ging, Gegangen, 2015) was hailed for its particular timeliness, as its story revolves around the most recent influx of asylum seekers and refugees from African to European countries, including Germany. In contradistinction to readings of Go, Went, Gone as a narrative of migration, our article places the novel in the tradition of the bildungsroman and takes Erpenbeck’s choice of protagonist as its starting point: in asking what is rendered visible through the privileged perspective of Richard—a recently retired classics professor—we argue that Erpenbeck’s …

The Spirit Of Migrancy: Mati Diop’S Atlantique, Gigi Adair
Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature
Contemporary migration to Europe affects and involves the migrants themselves, the European host communities that receive them, and the people and communities left behind in the homelands of the migrants. Nonetheless, the impact of migration on the latter receives much less attention, both in media and political discussions of migration and in migration studies research. In this essay, I examine the depiction of migration to Europe, its causes and consequences, in the 2019 film Atlantique (Atlantics) by Mati Diop. The film, set in Dakar, Senegal, contextualizes contemporary migration from West Africa to Europe by depicting some of the …

The Number Game: Counting Kangaroos, David Brooks

Well over one million kangaroos are shot each year in New South Wales, around half of them for the kangaroo ‘industry’, a harvest underpinned by the annual supply of population estimates sustaining the widespread impression that kangaroos are a ‘pest’, ‘in plague proportions’. Each year these figures, added to historical tables (typically from 1990 onward), are published as part of the state’s Quota Report, upon which the following year’s shooting quota is based. Drawn from aerial surveys, these estimates are nevertheless characterised by the persistent incidence of extraordinary annual population growth rates, well in excess of biological possibility. This …
