Description de l'ouvrage :
Examines contemporary examples of Philippine urban cinema from the 2000s
• Formulates the theory of the "slum chronotope" as a theoretical tool to analyse narrative and genre formation in films that dialogue with the slum setting
• Combines approaches from various fields, drawing heavily from human geography, in its analysis of spatial representations of social justice and injustice in and through films
• Contributes to transnational cinema studies through the unique subject of Philippine urban cinema, which is situated within the larger subject of global urban poverty and development

Outlining the rise of Philippine slums alongside the historical development of Philippine urban cinema, Slum Imaginaries and Spatial Justice in Philippine Cinema makes a novel contribution to the cinema-city nexus through its interdisciplinary framework of film studies and human geography. It formulates the theory of the ‘slum chronotope’ as a theoretical tool to analyse narrative and genre formation in films that dialogue with Manila’s slum imaginaries, and makes the case for Philippine urban cinema – and Philippine urban history – as a significant vantage point from which to understand imaginaries of spatial justice.

With case studies that take off from The Blossoming of Maximo Oliveros (2005) to Respeto (2017), this book is a powerful contribution to transnational cinema studies.
