These were palimpsest spaces shaped by overlapping British, Russian, Ottoman, Qajar, and Soviet imperial formations. The series proposes &#8220;transimperial cinemas&#8221; as a frame for film cultures not reducible to national traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To receive joining details, please email Canan Balan at <a href=\"mailto:c.balan@soton.ac.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">c.balan@soton.ac.uk<\/a> with the subject line &#8220;Transimperial Cinema.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A working reading list accompanies the series and is openly available.
