    Paper Number: 63 May 2007 Before and after the Fall: Mapping Hong Kong Cantopop in the Global Era Stephen Yiu-wai Chu Hong Kong Baptist University The author welcome comments from readers. Contact details: Stephen Yiu-wai Chu, Department of Chinese Language and Literature, Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong Email: [email protected] David C. Lam Institute for East-West Studies (LEWI) Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) LEWI Working Paper Series is an endeavour of David C. Lam Institute for East-West Studies (LEWI), a consortium with 28 member universities, to foster dialogue among scholars in the field of East-West studies. Globalisation has multiplied and accelerated inter-cultural, inter-ethnic, and inter-religious encounters, intentionally or not. In a world where time and place are increasingly compressed and interaction between East and West grows in density, numbers, and spread, East-West studies has gained a renewed mandate. LEWI’s Working Paper Series provides a forum for the speedy and informal exchange of ideas, as scholars and academic institutions attempt to grapple with issues of an inter-cultural and global nature. Circulation of this series is free of charge. Comments should be addressed directly to authors. Abstracts of papers can be downloaded from the LEWI web page at http://www.hkbu.edu.hk/~lewi/publications.html. Manuscript Submission: Scholars in East-West studies at member universities who are interested in submitting a paper for publication should send an article manuscript, preferably in a Word file via e-mail, as well as a submission form (available online) to the Series Secretary at the address below.

  • Warriors As the Feminised Other
    Warriors as the Feminised Other The study of male heroes in Chinese action cinema from 2000 to 2009 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chinese Studies at the University of Canterbury by Yunxiang Chen University of Canterbury 2011 i Abstract ―Flowery boys‖ (花样少年) – when this phrase is applied to attractive young men it is now often considered as a compliment. This research sets out to study the feminisation phenomena in the representation of warriors in Chinese language films from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China made in the first decade of the new millennium (2000-2009), as these three regions are now often packaged together as a pan-unity of the Chinese cultural realm. The foci of this study are on the investigations of the warriors as the feminised Other from two aspects: their bodies as spectacles and the manifestation of feminine characteristics in the male warriors. This study aims to detect what lies underneath the beautiful masquerade of the warriors as the Other through comprehensive analyses of the representations of feminised warriors and comparison with their female counterparts. It aims to test the hypothesis that gender identities are inventory categories transformed by and with changing historical context. Simultaneously, it is a project to study how Chinese traditional values and postmodern metrosexual culture interacted to formulate Chinese contemporary masculinity. It is also a project to search for a cultural nationalism presented in these films with the examination of gender politics hidden in these feminisation phenomena. With Laura Mulvey‘s theory of the gaze as a starting point, this research reconsiders the power relationship between the viewing subject and the spectacle to study the possibility of multiple gaze as well as the power of spectacle.

  • Shanghai and Beijing Travel Report 2010
    Shanghai International Film Festival and Market, Shanghai and Beijing meetings Report by Chris Oliver and Ross Matthews To report that the China screen landscape is undergoing change is not new news. All facets of the screen industry development, production, distribution, exhibition and broadcasting are going through change – a change that is in a positive direction. The change in the way the Chinese industry is engaging with the rest of world’s screen industries, including the way Government instrumentalities are relating to other countries (eg treaties) will be of real benefit to the Chinese and the international screen industry. Australia is well placed to benefit from those changes if (that’s capital IF) Australian producers/players understand the rules of engagement with Chinese producers, broadcasters and exhibitors and the Chinese government departments involved in implementing government policy. Why should Australia engage with China? There are obvious commercial reasons. Firstly, the Chinese gross box office (GBO) has increased by at least 30 per cent in the last year to US$909 million – and has now surpassed Australia to be number six in the world. According to those we had discussions with in China and what can be gleaned from the screen press, the China GBO will grow by at least a further 40 per cent in the 2010 calendar year! Secondly, China’s population has an ever-increasing level of Abbreviations disposable income to underpin AIDC Australian International Documentary Conference the cinema ticket price of $6–10: CCTV China Central Television TRAVELREPORT it’s been reported that middle CFCC China Film Co-production Corporation class numbers will exceed those CFGC China Film Group Corporation in the US by 2020.
