Viac o knihe

The paper explores how traditional narrative structures in 19th and early 20th-century literature fostered a linear and homogeneous national identity. In contrast, it examines the film Babel, highlighting its innovative approach to storytelling that reflects a fragmented, network-like narrative. This analysis illustrates how contemporary cinema challenges conventional notions of time and space, offering new ways to conceptualize a global community amidst the complexities of mass culture.
