Covering the rich film production of Belgium, Switzerland, Quebec, the Caribbean, North Africa, and Sub-Saharan Africa, this book brings together films that might otherwise be divided by questions of race, gender, genre, period, or nation, in a valuable comparative study of a diverse corpus. Individual countries, film-makers, and films are treated separately in order to emphasize their specific identities or those which are represented in their films, and key films are examined within a well-developed historical context.

De relatie tussen hedendaagse kunst en mythe is een bijzonder boeiend maar complex fenomeen. Mythische sporen is een verzameling van visies en reflecties met betrekking tot het oeuvre van hedendaagse kunstenaars waarbinnen een mythische dimensie essentieel is. Een aantal meer algemene bijdragen gaan dieper in op de mythe vandaag en de postmoderne mythe. Vervolgens zoeken een aantal auteurs naar de mythe in het werk van hedendaagse kunstenaars zoals Jan Fabre, Anne en Patrick Poirier, Anselm Kiefer, Marina Abramovic, Herman Nitsch, Marie-Jo Lafontaine, Günter Brus en Marcel Mayer.
