But this book begins with Dorothy and her legacy as an archetypal touchstone in cinema for the child journeying far from home. In \u003ci\u003eThere's No Place Like Home\u003c\/i\u003e, distinguished film scholar Stephanie Hemelryk Donald offers a fresh interpretation of the migrant child as a recurring figure in world cinema. Displaced or placeless children, and the idea of childhood itself, are vehicles to examine migration and cosmopolitanism in films such as \u003ci\u003eLe Ballon Rouge\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLittle Moth\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLe Havre\u003c\/i\u003e. Surveying fictional and documentary film from the post-war years until today, the author shows how the child is a guide to themes of place, self and being in world cinema.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStephanie Hemelryk Donald \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Film at Monash University Malaysia and Head of the School of Arts and Social Sciences.
