    Abstract
    This monograph departs from traditional studies of national cinema by accentuating the intercultural and intertextual links between Malaysian films and Asian (as well as European and American) film practices. Using cross-cultural analysis, the author characterizes Malaysia as a pluralist society consisting of a multiplicity of cultural identities. Malaysian film reflects this remarkable heterogeneity, particularly evident in the impact of the Indian and Hong Kong cinema. Detailed analyses of a selection of Malaysian films highlight their cultural complexities, while noting the tension between cultural inclusivity and ethnic exclusivity at the heart of this cinema.
     
    William van der Heide maakt in dit boek een vergelijking tussen de samenstelling en het karakter van de Maleisische samenleving en het karakter van de in Maleisië geproduceerde en gedistribueerde films. De auteur karakteriseert Maleisië als een pluralistische samenleving, die bestaat uit een veelvoud van culturele entiteiten. Van der Heide komt tot de slotsom dat de filmcultuur, die zowel nationaal gedistribueerde en vertoonde films als kleinschalige lokale producties omvat, in Maleisie een even heterogeen karakter bezit. Dit is in het bijzonder zichtbaar bij de impact die films uit India en Hong Kong hebben op het Maleisische publiek en de Maleisische filmmakers. Een gedetailleerde analyse van een aantal Maleisische films benadrukt de culturele complexiteit van de Maleisische samenleving. De spanning tussen cultureel saamhorigheidsgevoel en ethnische exclusiviteit ligt aan de basis van de Maleisische cinema. Het boek neemt de traditionele studies van de nationale filmindustrie als uitgangspunt en accentueert de interculturele en intertextuele overeenkomsten (relaties) tussen Maleisische films en Aziatische (maar ook Europese en amerikaanse) filmpraktijken.
