Synthesizing concepts from a range of thematic frameworks, including transnationalism, eco-philosophy, architectural theory, and cartography, this book provides an interdisciplinary reading of Kaurism�ki's body of work. The notion of \"transvergence\"--thinking in heterogeneous and polyphonal terms--emerges as an analytical method for exploring the power of these films. Through this method, the book encourages a rethinking of transnational cinema studies in relation to many oft-debated notions such as Finnish culture, European identity, cosmopolitanism and globalization. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A PDF version of this book is available for free in open access via the OAPEN Library platform, www.oapen.org It has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License and is part of Knowledge Unlatched.","brand":"Intellect (UK)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47891334660247,"sku":"9781841504094","price":3708.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781841504094.webp?v=1781183271","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-cinema-of-mika-kaurismaki-transvergent-cinescapes-emergent-identities-9781841504094","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
