Description

Journeys on Screen Theory, Ethics, Aesthetics explores how the journey narrative has evolved across cinema and cultural modernity. From pre-cinema to new media and documentary, fiction, and beyond, this collection reveals the journey as a persistent presence.

Through essays that traverse art and genre cinema, the book examines the journey as a metaphor for self-discovery and social transformation, and as evidence of autonomy and progress - or their lack. It also illuminates areas of global movement, belonging, diaspora, and memory, documenting epochal changes in human behaviour.

By examining these diverse examples from different regions and cultures, the book sheds light on how the journey narrative reflects and shapes our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
