The Construction of Migration Representations in Filmic Discourses: Cinematic Spaces in Context(s)
摘要
Chapter 3 examines migration representation in filmic discourses, perceiving cinema as a means of subjectivation in public controversies. Visual patterns in migration films not only convey ideological messages but also shape subjectivities. This chapter explores milestones and recent trends in the academic literature, focusing on films in the Mediterranean area, Black Africa, Latin America, and Asia to highlight migration’s enduring cinematic interest and memories across these regions. It delves into Spanish and Moroccan migration cinema, drawing comparative perspectives with countries such as Italy, Greece, and Algeria. The analysed films reveal thematic tendencies that inspire positive narrative approaches in filmmaking, providing a broader understanding of the context of MFFs.
