- Summary:
- This book engages with an interdisciplinary model of analyzing the Romanian transition from communism and planned economy to democracy and capitalism, focusing on how the various social and political transformations are reflected in cinema. Informed by over one hundred films produced during the last forty years in Romania, the book reveals how the understanding and the cinematic representations of the nation and state, (gendered) self, and symbolic Other are affected by political economic and social changes. The theoretical model constructed is based on three elements of interest: the discourse prevalent in society, the topology of commonplaces and the structure of fantasy. Book jacket.
