Abstract
Reflecting on the pedagogical challenges of teaching transnational cinemas, and the various ways one might cope with them, provides a welcome opportunity to consider carefully the place of film-philosophy in teaching the “transnational turn.” In what follows I outline a conclusion that has “crept up on me” over the past several years of teaching, in particular when looking at films from Asia and Latin America. Certainly, it was never something I set out to test as a hypothesis; rather, it has emerged piecemeal, catching me unawares, little by little, over a prolonged period of time. The conclusion is that teaching transnational cinemas requires a multi-dimensional approach to films as objects of study. Moreover, a crucial part of this realization is that one prominent dimension of the multi- is the theoretical/philosophical.
