EUP book wins the MeCCSA Outstanding Achievement Award of Best Edited Collection of the Year

We are delighted to share the news that Towards an Intermedial History of Brazilian Cinema (edited by Lúcia Nagib, Luciana Corrêa de Araújo, and Tiago de Luca) has won the MeCCSA Outstanding Achievement Award of Best Edited Collection of the Year.

MeCCSA (Media, Communication and Cultural Studies Association) recognises outstanding research in the fields of media, communication, and cultural studies.

Here are what the judges had to say:

This edited collection rewrites the history of Brazilian cinema through the lens of intermediality. Eschewing the chronological approach of earlier histories it writes Brazilian cinema as a co-mingling of many different art forms: theatre, opera, dance, radio, television, music and the plastic arts. As such it offers an innovative way of writing cinema history, develops the concept of intermediality that has been used more broadly in the field, and introduces the notion of cosmopoetics. The collection is well framed by the editors and the individual contributions, from both early career and more senior scholars drawn from across the globe, sustain the argument that the history of Brazilian cinema is usefully understood in dialogue with other art forms.
