Biografisk notat
David John Boyd is a post-doctoral research fellow of the Stirling Maxwell Centre in the School of Modern Languages and Cultures at the University of Glasgow. His research focuses include historical representation in film, film-philosophies of embodiment, and theories of intermediality and adaptation in global visual culture. His recent publications include From Glasgow to Gotham: The Comics Art of Frank Quitely with Julie Briand-Boyd (forthcoming 2025) and Deleuze and Global Animation: Estranged Images (forthcoming 2026).Like adjusting the lens on a projector, this volume brings Lubitsch’s films into sharper focus, revealing new dimensions. The authors convincingly refocus our vision of Lubitsch’s humanizing touch with fresh insights and diverse approaches that illuminate the global impact of his style and demonstrate why his historical films continue to reward close analysis long after their initial flicker.

This rich, theoretically ambitious volume explores the relationship between history (social and film history) and Lubitsch’s films of both the German and the American periods. The emphasis on the tactile in Lubitsch is especially original and promising. The authors collected here bring diverse, multinational perspectives to the volume.
