This innovative volume demonstrates the embodiment of time to be a vital part of the aesthetic experience of cinema. Analysing a broad range of films including Beasts of the Southern Wild (USA, 2012), Talk to Her (Spain, 2002), Millennium Actress (Japan, 2001), Jab Tak Hai Jaan (India, 2012), and Jinpa (China, 2018), contributors examine key questions of embodied time as represented on screen. They explore how cinematic time can be a way of rethinking the centrality of the individual, of depicting gendered differences, of decentring western perspectives to represent a widened global context, and of expanding what embodiment means in post-human narratives. The volume not only highlights specific discourses of radical, lived experience in film, but also considers how distinctions of race and class, gender and sexuality, migration, religion, and indigeneity affect these depictions of embodied subjectivity.
