Abstract
This chapter considers the potential of certain types of philosophy – specifically the “transmodern” ethics of Latin American philosopher Enrique Dussel, and contract theory (Sexual, Natural, Racial) – for our understanding of world cinemas. In particular, it argues for the usefulness of a “transworld” approach to analysis. Grouping together films from different parts of the world is a gradually emerging practice, as Film Studies takes its “transnational turn.” This approach is particularly helpful, I argue, because it enables us to see how the cinemas of the world are collectively engaging as much with world, as they are with national, history.
