Visual Arts Theatre Back to simple, radical gestures The Supports/Surfaces movement: within and around In the mid-1960s, a group of artists, mainly painters, decided to complete the deconstruction of the pictorial space that began at the beginning of the 20th century by doing away with its tra- ditional 500-year-old medium: the painting. The same logic was applied to sculpture and the authorized range of materials: the so-called “tyranny of the base”. The exhibition is focussed on artists who came together under the Supports/Surfaces banner between 1966-1975. The radicality, frugality and commitment of these artists, often united by friendship and geographic roots, are currently the subject of renewed international interest.

    Development of the Global Film Industry The global film industry has witnessed significant transformations in the past few years. Regions outside the USA have begun to prosper while non-traditional produc- tion companies such as Netflix have assumed a larger market share and online movies adapted from literature have continued to gain in popularity. How have these trends shaped the global film industry? This book answers this question by analyzing an increasingly globalized business through a global lens. Development of the Global Film Industry examines the recent history and current state of the business in all parts of the world. While many existing studies focus on the internal workings of the industry, such as production, distribution and screening, this study takes a “big picture” view, encompassing the transnational integration of the cultural and entertainment industry as a whole, and pays more attention to the coordinated develop- ment of the film industry in the light of influence from literature, television, animation, games and other sectors. This volume is a critical reference for students, scholars and the public to help them understand the major trends facing the global film industry in today’s world. Qiao Li is Associate Professor at Taylor’s University, Selangor, Malaysia, and Visiting Professor at the Université Paris 1 Panthéon- Sorbonne. He has a PhD in Film Studies from the University of Gloucestershire, UK, with expertise in Chinese- language cinema.

    PRODUCTION NOTES Set in a small Chinese village where an illicit blood trade has spread AIDS to the community, LOVE FOR LIFE is the story of De Yi and Qin Qin, two victims faced with the grim reality of impending death, who unexpectedly fall in love and risk everything to pursue a last chance at happiness before it’s too late. SYNOPSIS In a small Chinese village where an illicit blood trade has spread AIDS to the community, the Zhao’s are a family caught in the middle. Qi Quan is the savvy elder son who first lured neighbors to give blood with promises of fast money while Grandpa, desperate to make amends for the damage caused by his family, turns the local school into a home where he can care for the sick. Among the patients is his second son De Yi, who confronts impending death with anger and recklessness. At the school, De Yi meets the beautiful Qin Qin, the new wife of his cousin and a recent victim of the virus. Emotionally deserted by their respective spouses, De Yi and Qin Qin are drawn to each other by the shared disappointment and fear of their fate. With nothing to look forward to, De Yi capriciously suggests becoming lovers but as they begin their secret affair, they are unprepared for the real love that grows between them. De Yi and Qin Qin’s dream of being together as man and wife, to love each other legitimately and freely, is jeopardized when the villagers discover their adultery. With their time slipping away, they must decide if they will surrender everything to pursue one chance at happiness before it’s too late.

    5 The fever with no name Genre-blending responses to the HIV-tainted blood scandal in 1990s China Marta Hanson Among the many responses to HIV/AIDS in modern China – medical, political, economic, sociological, national, and international – the cultural responses have been considerably powerful. In the past ten years, artists have written novels, produced documentaries, and even made a major feature-length film in response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in China.1 One of the best-known critical novelists in China today, Yan Lianke 阎连科 (b. 1958), wrote the novel Dream of Ding Village (丁庄梦, copyright 2005; Hong Kong 2006; English translation 2009) as a scath- ing critique of how the Chinese government both contributed to and poorly han- dled the HIV/AIDS crisis in his native Henan province. He interviewed survivors, physicians, and even blood merchants who experienced first-hand the HIV/AIDS ‘tainted blood’ scandal in rural Henan of the 1990s giving the novel authenticity, depth, and heft. Although Yan chose a child-ghost narrator, the Dream is clearly a realistic novel. After signing a contract with Shanghai Arts Press he promised to donate 50,000 yuan of royalties to Xinzhuang village where he researched the AIDS epidemic in rural Henan, further blurring the fiction-reality line. The Chi- nese government censors responded by banning the Dream in Mainland China (Wang 2014: 151). Even before director Gu Changwei 顾长卫 (b. 1957) began making a feature film based on Yan’s banned book, he and his wife Jiang Wenli 蒋雯丽 (b. 1969) sought to work with ordinary people living with HIV/AIDS as part of the process of making the film.

    Journal of the British Association for Chinese Studies, Vol. 9 (1), January 2019 ISSN 2048-0601 © British Association for Chinese Studies Portrayals of the Chinese Être Particulières: Intellectual Women and Their Dilemmas in the Chinese Popular Context Since 2000 Meng Li The Hong Kong Polytechnic University Abstract This article studies the tension between post-Mao Chinese intellectual women and their dilemma in post-2000s Chinese popular media. TV dramas, films, songs and reality shows in which Chinese intellectual women and their dilemmas are identified, mis/represented, mis/understood and addressed are the research objects of this article. By foregrounding the two motifs of estrangement and escape in understanding and characterising post-Mao Chinese intellectual women, the article seeks to answer the following questions: In what ways are well-educated Chinese women consistently stigmatised under the unsympathetic limelight of the public? And for what reason are Chinese intellectual women identified as the être particulières in the popular context? Keywords: intellectual women, dilemma, estrangement, escape, popular cultural context. The article is partly developed from the postscript of my unpublished PhD thesis (Li, 2013). I thank my supervisors Professor Catherine Driscoll, Professor Yiyan Wang, as well as the two anonymous reviewers for their constructive suggestions to this article. 10 Meng Li Efforts to define the femininity of intellectual women and explain why intellectual women, “une être particulière” (Ernot, 1998: 102, cited in Long, 2013: 13), are exposed to stigmatisation has been the focus of my research of the previous decade. Both Luce Irigaray (1985) and Chen Ya-chen (2011) have proposed viewing female desire and language, as well as feminism itself, via a multi-dimensional lens.

No, it is infectious, it is more like aids. alain tanner, La Vallée Fantôme (1987) Ever since an unknown, threatening disease was identified as Acquired Immu- nodeficiency Syndrome (aids) in the 1980s, aids has been a subject of filmmak- ing in Western cinemas. Directors usually capture the alienation and suffering of the aids patients—mostly urban, marginal individuals such as gays, drug addicts, and prostitutes who are portrayed as having a deviant lifestyle, and for whom the disease is a stigma for which they are held responsible. Often seen as a threat to the community, they serve as warnings and “bad” examples for the general public.1 Gu Changwei’s 顾长卫 recent film, Love for Life (Zui ai 最爱, 2011), on the contrary, portrays a group of aids bearers in a rural environment in China as innocent peasants conforming a conventional life, whose biggest mistake lies in having followed the rhetoric of “getting rich quickly” by means of selling blood; in other words, the collective nature of this Chinese “tainted community” sets Gu’s film apart from other aids narratives and, to a large ex- tent, appears as a social criticism of national characteristics and contemporary economic development.

  • Film and the Chinese Medical Humanities
    Film and the Chinese Medical Humanities “This collection of film studies brings together the creative work of China’s most talented filmmakers as they reflect on contemporary social problems, work out in narratives and images an original analysis of what’s wrong with us (as individuals, as a society, and in cultural settings), and as they propose paths to redemption.” – Judith Farquhar, Max Palevsky Professor Emerita, Department of Anthropology, University of Chicago Film and the Chinese Medical Humanities is the first book to reflect on the power of film in representing medical and health discourse in China in both the past and the present, as well as in shaping its future. Drawing on both feature and documentary films from mainland China, the chapters each engage with the field of medicine through the visual arts. They cover themes such as the history of doctors and their concepts of disease and therapies, understanding the patient experience of illness and death, and establishing empathy and compassion in medical practice, as well as the HIV/AIDs epidemic during the 1980s and 1990s and changing attitudes towards disability. Inherently interdisciplinary in nature, the contributors therefore provide different perspectives from the fields of history, psychiatry, film studies, anthropology, linguistics, public health and occupational therapy as they relate to China and people who identify as Chinese. Their combined approaches are united by a passion for improving the cross-cultural understanding of the body and ultimately healthcare itself. A key resource for educators in the Medical Humanities, this book will be useful to students and scholars of Chinese Studies and Film Studies as well as global health, medical anthropology and medical history.

    NOUVELLES VOIX DU CINÉMA CHINOIS du 11 janvier au 20 février 2017 Une programmation de Bérénice Reynaud Depuis le début des années 2000, une nouvelle génération de cinéastes chinois a jeté un regard précis sur la réalité contemporaine d’une Chine en pleine transformation. Aidés des nouvelles technologies numériques, des réalisateurs indépendants ont inventé des façons radicales de restituer une image plus juste de la société chinoise. Trente films pour un regard nouveau. JEUDI 12 JANVIER 19h : CONFÉRENCE “ NOUVELLES VOIX DU CINÉMA CHINOIS (2000-2015) ” PAR BÉRÉNICE REYNAUD En 2000, un courant d’air frais souffle sur le cinéma indépendant chinois. Entre l’humour, le romantisme et une réinvention un peu sauvage du néoréalisme, souvent munis de caméras numériques, de nouveaux réalisateurs et réalisatrices explorent une Chine en plein changement. Ils vont filmer dans les provinces les plus lointaines ou dans les recoins secrets des grandes villes. On compte parmi eux des fils de paysans, des militants queer, des membres des minorités ethniques. Panorama d’une nouvelle génération de cinéastes. À la suite de la conférence, à 21h30, projection d’un film choisi par la conférencière : Single Man de Hao Jie (2010) précédé de Coal Spell 2008) et Shock of Time (2006) de Sun Xun.
