Argument
The book releases Deleuze’s taxonomy from a narrowly European history, allowing national narration, colonial experience, and global circulation to modify the concepts. Its central question becomes how a film makes time within a specific world.
Core question
How do movement-images and time-images form new combinations across the distinct histories and politics of cinemas from Argentina, South Korea, Hong Kong, India, and globalized Los Angeles?
Argument structure
Argentine child seers, South Korean time-travel films, Hong Kong action cinema, Los Angeles blockbusters, and Indian masala cinema encounter different historical pressures. Movement-images and time-images recombine within these national and genre contexts, allowing local histories to reshape how the taxonomy applies.
