Orientalist Commercializations: Tibetan Buddhism in American Popular Film Abstract Many contemporary American popular films are presenting us with particular views of Tibetan Buddhism and culture. Unfortunately, the views these movies present are often misleading. In this essay I will identify four false characterizations of Tibetan Buddhism, as described by Tibetologist Donald Lopez, characterizations that have been refuted by post-colonial scholarship. I will then show how these misleading characterizations make their way into three contemporary films, Seven Years in Tibet, Kundun and Little Buddha. Finally, I will offer an explanation for the American fascination with Tibet as Tibetan culture is represented in these films. This article is available in Journal of Religion & Film: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol2/iss2/5 Mullen: Orientalist Commercializations Tibetan religion and culture are experiencing an unparalleled popularity. Tibetan Buddhism and Tibetan history are commonly the subjects of Hollywood films.

  • 2 | White-Dominated Cultural Appropriation in the Publishing Industry
    2 | White-Dominated Cultural Appropriation in the Publishing Industry Zhinan Yu, Department of Communication This chapter seeks to explore cultural appropriation as a diverse, ubiquitous, and morally problematic phenomenon (Matthes, 2016, p. 344) emerging particularly in white writers’ novels. In approaching this goal, a case study based on English writer James Hilton’s best-known novel Lost Horizon (1933) will be given through addressing relevant theoretical concepts including imperialist literature, colonialism and orientalism. The case study aims at exemplifying how white-dominated cultural appropriation implemented by writer’s misuses and misperceptions toward Asian cultures. Then, in the second part of this chapter, multifaceted perspectives will be drawn into the discussion for giving cultural appropriation a further sight beyond the novel itself, and pay attention to the book publishing industry as an international yet still race-biased business in terms of globalization. Keywords: cultural appropriation; imperialist literature; white-dominated; Lost Horizon; book publishing; globalization. Introduction In a 2015 article published in The Guardian, novelist, essayist and literary critic Anjali Enjeti astutely asserted that writers of colour are “severely under-represented in the literary world”. In this piece, Enjeti chronicles a controversy over the Best American Poets 2015 anthology, wherein the volume’s editor, Sherman Alexie, decided to publish the poem “The Bees, the Flowers, Jesus, Ancient Tigers, Poseidon, Adam and Eve” despite the author’s use of a racialized pseudonym. After selecting the poem, Alexie found out that the poem’s author, Yi-Fen Chou, was actually the Chinese pseudonym for Michael Derrick Hudson, a white man from Wabash, Indiana. In his bio as Yi-Fen Chou, the author indicates that this poem was rejected 40 times under his real name, but only rejected 9 times under his pen name, and he has realized he could Copyright © 2018 Yu.

  • Lost Horizon
    Lost Horizon By James Hilton Lost Horizon PROLOGUE Cigars had burned low, and we were beginning to sample the disillusionment that usually afflicts old school friends who have met again as men and found themselves with less in common than they had believed they had. Rutherford wrote novels; Wyland was one of the Embassy secretaries; he had just given us dinner at Tempelhof—not very cheerfully, I fancied, but with the equanimity which a diplomat must always keep on tap for such occasions. It seemed likely that nothing but the fact of being three celibate Englishmen in a foreign capital could have brought us together, and I had already reached the conclusion that the slight touch of priggishness which I remembered in Wyland Tertius had not diminished with years and an M.V.O. Rutherford I liked more; he had ripened well out of the skinny, precocious infant whom I had once alternately bullied and patronized. The probability that he was making much more money and having a more interesting life than either of us gave Wyland and me our one mutual emotion—a touch of envy. The evening, however, was far from dull. We had a good view of the big Lufthansa machines as they arrived at the aerodrome from all parts of Central Europe, and towards dusk, when arc flares were lighted, the scene took on a rich, theatrical brilliance. One of the planes was English, and its pilot, in full flying kit, strolled past our table and saluted Wyland, who did not at first recognize him. When he did so there were introductions all around, and the stranger was invited to join us.

  • Movie Time Film Series Flyer for Winter 2015
    The Crles AllIs Art Museum Presents Movie Time Winter 2015 Don’t miss the Movie Time film series shown every other Wednesday at the Charles Allis Art Museum. These films are presented by leading Milwaukee films historian, Dale E. Kuntz. Special choices from his collection of classic films from the 30s and 40s are shown on 16mm, reel-to-reel film. Most of his films are not available on DVD, so the audience has a rare opportunity to see these films in their original glory. Prior to each screening, Dale fascinates the audience with his vast knowledge of film history and gives the inside scoop on each movie. As a bonus, on any Wednesday when a film is scheduled, general admission to the Museum doubles as a movie ticket. Guests may choose to arrive early to visit the museum and then stay for the film. Bring a friend, check out our permanent collection and current exhibition, then grab a seat in the Great Hall and enjoy! Films Nominated for Best Picture (But did not Win) wednesday nights 6:30pm - 10pm As movie fans, we often wonder why one film won Best Picture while show starts at 7:30pm another exceptional film did not. What a tough question – with no one to answer! Early on, from 1928 – 1931 only five films were nominated each year Charles Allis for Best Picture. From 1932 to 1943, this began to change. Some years eight Art Museum films were nominated, some years ten or twelve! The “Golden Year” of film, 1939, the list of nominated films that did not win includes classics like Wuther- ing Heights, Goodbye Mr.
