Nation and Identity in the New German Cinema: Homeless at Home / Edition 1

As the first cultural studies investigation of this cinematic movement, the book challenges existing film studies accounts by analyzing the New German Cinema within its social, temporal, and spatial contexts. Furthermore, with its broad concerns for the West German production context, the New German Cinema’s reception both nationally and internationally, as well as issues of representation, narration, and ‘Othering,’ offers an interdisciplinary contribution to the ongoing debate on national cinema.
