Constructions of Cultural Identities in Newsreel Cinema & Television After 1945

2017 | Business & Finance

Newsreel cinema and television not only served as an important tool in the shaping of political spheres and the construction of national and cultural identities up to the 1960s. Today's potent televisual forms were furthermore developed in and strongly influenced by newsreels, and much of the archived newsreel footage is repeatedly used to both illustrate and re-stage past events and their significance. This book addresses newsreel cinema and television as a medium serving the formation of cultural identities in a variety of national contexts after 1945, its role in forming audio-visual narratives of a "biopic of the nation", and the technical, aesthetical, and political challenges of archiving and restaging cinematic and televisual newsreel.
