Beyond the Border: Transnational Film Culture between Germany and Great Britain (Revised)

拟议的图书项目《超越边界：德国和英国之间的跨国电影文化》将通过关注战争期间和战后时期“有用的电影”制作的跨国网络，寻求取代传统的电影史。两个国家的电影文化通常被认为是不同的，通过对这两个国家的合作和相互影响的研究，一个超越德国和英国各自国家的研究项目将得到推进。在关于宣传，纪录片，广告和旅游电影的章节中，将会认为有用的电影在传统的国家电影院之间占有一席之地。将会出现的是一种文化和电影交流的跨国视角，审视这个国家的电影历史概念。

The proposed book project, Beyond the Border: Transnational Film Culture between Germany and Great Britain, will seek to supersede conventional film histories by focusing on transnational networks of "useful film" production in the inter-war and postwar period. Through studies of the collaboration and mutual influences of two nations whose film cultures have typically been considered apart, a research program will be advanced that extends beyond the respective countries of Germany and Great Britain. In chapters on propaganda, documentary, advertising, and travel films, it will be argued that useful films occupy a place between the traditional national cinemas. What will emerge is a transnational perspective of cultural and cinematic exchange that scrutinizes the film-historical concept of the nation.
