Transmodern Cinema and Decolonial Film Theory: A Study of Youssef Chahine's al-Masir, 1st Edition

In this book, Robert K. Beshara applies decolonial film theory to an analysis of Youssef Chahine's (1997) Al-Masir (Destiny). Transmodern Cinema and Decolonial Film Theory is the first book on decolonial film theory, which unpacks key concepts in decoloniality and decolonial aesthetics. Decolonial film theory is then applied to Youssef Chahine's (1997) historical drama al-Ma?ir in an effort to juxtapose the Egyptian filmmaker (Chahine) and his decolonial cinema to the Andalusian polymath (Ibn Rushd) and his Islamic philosophy.\nTransmodern Cinema and Decolonial Film Theory: A Study of Youssef Chahine's al-Masir 1st Edition is written by Robert K. Beshara and published by Bloomsbury Academic. ISBNs for Transmodern Cinema and Decolonial Film Theory are 9781501385094, 1501385097 and the print ISBNs are 9781501385117, 1501385119.
