About The Book

<p>This book is the first of its kind to bring basic notions of contemporary physics to bear on African cine-scapes.</p><p>In this book renowned African cinema scholar Kenneth W. Harrow presents unique new ways to think about space and time in film with a specific focus on African and African diasporic cinema. Through a series of case studies he explores how cinema creates and represents time and space and more specifically how a cinema centered in African landscapes and figures accomplishes this. He reflects on the issues and problems posed by scientists when faced with the basic questions of what space and time are and their solutions or conclusions giving both film studies and African studies scholars access to new ways to formulate their thinking about African cine-scapes. Working beyond the limits of a framework based in a postcolonial and cultural understanding of time and space Harrow demonstrates how a scientific understanding of time and space can open up new approaches to African cinema and cinema in general.</p><p>A unique interdisciplinary book that encourages brand new ways to approach cinematic texts and specifically African cine-scapes.</p>
