Studies in World Cinema: A Critical Journal (SWC)

Studies in World Cinema: A Critical Journal takes a pluralistic, polycentric and non-normative approach to the notion of ‘world cinema,’ treating it as a fluid and expansive term. The journal examines both local and global cinematic perspectives and their points of intersection, taking into account historical contexts as well as contemporary developments. It also explores the power dynamics surrounding access to and visibility in the global film market. Contributions from scholars worldwide are welcomed on a variety of topics such as traveling cinematic tropes, creolization, transnational practices, global genres, remakes and adaptations in new settings, translation cultures, migrant and diasporic films, collaborations, co-productions, film festivals, multinational filmmaking and films addressing global issues like climate change and globalization. The journal also explores how new technologies influence global film distribution and how cinema creates new perceptions of the world. Theoretical reflections on ‘world cinema’ and related terms, such as transnational cinema, are also encouraged, with many more subjects open for exploration. The editorial board of the SWC warmly welcomes submissions for open-call issues. The journal also publishes themed special issues, for which contributions are invited from guest editors. Guest editors who are interested to submit a proposal for a special issue can contact the publisher, Masja Horn, masja.horn@brill.com
