Abstract

ABSTRACT None of the multinational companies has ever released any film in Malawi – a so-called "fourth world” whose GDP per capita is fourth from the bottom in the world (as of 2018). However, global films are widely found there, including in remote areas. Based on detailed fieldwork materials collected in Malawi, this article discusses the topic of foreign film dubbing (pirating) and consumption in Malawi. After the discussion, this article provides examples of how a "fourth world”, which is excluded by global film networks, inserts itself back into that network again, and further stays connected to the globe.
