While this has served as a useful corrective to the simplistic and uncritical ways in which the national cinema paradigm has sometimes been employed, it also risks downplaying cultural specificities and homogenising disparate film cultures. Thus a new &#8216;regional turn&#8217; to complement and counterbalance this development is required.<\/p>\n<p>Drawing on the idea of &#8216;glocalisation&#8217;, Dr Marlow-Mann\u2019s presentation will argue that globalisation does not involve the erasure of the local but rather a complex interplay between the global and the local. Thus, in recent decades, &#8216;regional&#8217; cinemas operating at sub-national level have achieved renewed significance. Film studies has so\u00a0far paid little attention to such cinemas, which actually date back to the earliest days of cinema. A shift in perspective is therefore necessary, leading to the adoption of a methodology based around the &#8216;micro-mapping&#8217; of production contexts, the circulation of films and variations in styles and genres at the sub-national level, which would complement macro- and transnational approaches.<\/p>\n<p>Further details of the lecture can be found at:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.english.pitt.edu\/event\/film-studies-presents-alexander-marlow-mann\">www.english.pitt.edu\/event\/film-studies-presents-alexander-marlow-mann<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Alex Marlow-Mann, Lecturer in Italian in the Department of Modern Languages, is to deliver a lecture on the subject of \u2018Regional Cinema: Micro-mapping and &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/2017\/02\/01\/alex-marlow-mann-at-university-of-pittsburgh\/\">Read&nbsp;more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5829,"featured_media":6911,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[124],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6910"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5829"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6910"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6910\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6974,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6910\/revisions\/6974"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6911"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6910"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6910"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6910"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
