For R. Hammer & D. Kellner, Eds., in Press/2008, Critical Cultural Studies
For R. Hammer & D. Kellner, Eds., in press/2008, Critical Cultural Studies Reader. New York: Peter Lang. ANOTHER ETHNIC AUTOBIOGRAPHY? CHILDHOOD AND THE CULTURAL ECONOMY OF LOOKING Allan Luke Queensland University of Technology Australia Dramatis personae This piece was originally written for the International Conference on Knowledge and Discourse, and presented at the Run Run Shaw Theatre, Hong Kong, in 1996. A companion article on Asian masculinities was published in conference papers (Luke, 2002). My original talk included videoclips of my Uncle, Keye Luke, in Star Trek, “Whom Gods Destroy” (Series 3, episode 13, 1969) and with clips of my Father, Edwin Luke, in Blood Alley (Dir. William Wellman, Batjak Productions, 1956). The work sat unpublished until my mother, Ahlin Wong Luke, passed in 2007. My Father and Uncle’s representations continue to circulate in the transnational semiotic ether – as downloads, as DVDs, and in Wikipedia. I am rereading my Father’s film scripts, reconnoitring his experiences and, indeed, mine. As you read, you will notice that my discussion of ethnic narratives has been overtaken by subsequent work in film, cultural and Asian-American studies. I have retained the original 1990s citations in this work, updating them only where relevant. The premise of the article stands: that in contemporary capitalist societies like those of North America and Europe, essentialist bids to reclaim originary ethnic voice and identity are invariably forged in the contexts of multimediated childhood. Identity and practice are shaped by media representations of ‘cultures’, even where they are reproduced across generations by face-to-face and everyday exchanges between parents, community elders and youth. -
World War Ii and Us Cinema
ABSTRACT Title of Document: WORLD WAR II AND U.S. CINEMA: RACE, NATION, AND REMEMBRANCE IN POSTWAR FILM, 1945-1978 Robert Keith Chester, Ph.D., 2011 Co-Directed By: Dr. Gary Gerstle, Professor of History, Vanderbilt University Dr. Nancy Struna, Professor of American Studies, University of Maryland, College Park This dissertation interrogates the meanings retrospectively imposed upon World War II in U.S. motion pictures released between 1945 and the mid-1970s. Focusing on combat films and images of veterans in postwar settings, I trace representations of World War II between war‘s end and the War in Vietnam, charting two distinct yet overlapping trajectories pivotal to the construction of U.S. identity in postwar cinema. The first is the connotations attached to U.S. ethnoracial relations – the presence and absence of a multiethnic, sometimes multiracial soldiery set against the hegemony of U.S. whiteness – in depictions of the war and its aftermath. The second is Hollywood‘s representation (and erasure) of the contributions of the wartime Allies and the ways in which such images engaged with and negotiated postwar international relations. Contrary to notions of a ―good war‖ untainted by ambiguity or dissent, I argue that World War II gave rise to a conflicted cluster of postwar meanings. At times, notably in the early postwar period, the war served as a progressive summons to racial reform. At other times, the war was inscribed as a historical moment in which U.S. racism was either nonexistent or was laid permanently to rest. In regard to the Allies, I locate a Hollywood dialectic between internationalist and unilateralist remembrances. -
Performing Chinatown: Hollywood Cinema, Tourism, and the Making of a Los Angeles Community, 1882-1943
Performing Chinatown: Hollywood Cinema, Tourism, and the Making of a Los Angeles Community, 1882-1943 By William Gow A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnic Studies and the Designated Emphasis in Film Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Catherine Ceniza Choy, Co-Chair Professor Shari Huhndorf, Co-Chair Associate Professor Weihong Bao Associate Professor Michael Omi Spring 2018 Copyright © 2018 by William Gow Abstract Performing Chinatown: Hollywood Cinema, Tourism, and the Making of a Los Angeles Community, 1882-1943 By William Gow Doctorate in Philosophy in Ethnic Studies with a designated emphasis in Film Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Catherine Ceniza Choy, Co-Chair Professor Shari Huhndorf, Co-Chair Examining a period of national debate over immigration and U.S. citizenship, this dissertation foregrounds the social, economic, and political contexts through which representations of Chinatown in Los Angeles were produced and consumed. My dissertation asks: how did Chinese Americans in Los Angeles create, negotiate, and critically engage changing representations of Chinatown? To what extent did popular representations and economic opportunities in Hollywood inform life in Los Angeles Chinatown? And in what ways were the rights and privileges of U.S. citizenship and national belonging related to popular representations of Chinatown? To answer these questions, this project examines four different “Chinatowns” in Los Angeles—Old Chinatown, New Chinatown, China City, and MGM’s set for The Good Earth—between the passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882 and the law’s symbolic repeal in 1943 during World War II. -

An Exploration on How the Film Crazy Rich Asians Challenged Hollywood
CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, NORTHRIDGE Racist Ideologies and Entertainment Media: An exploration on how the film Crazy Rich Asians challenged Hollywood A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Mass Communication By Lova Yazdani May 2020 Copyright by Lova Yazdani 2020 ii The thesis of Lova Yazdani is approved by: _____________________________________ __________________ Professor Gretchen Macchiarella Date ______________________________________ __________________ Professor Darleen Principe Date _______________________________________ __________________ Professor Melissa Wall, Ph.D., Chair Date California State University, Northridge iii Preface Growing up, I was never a fan of romantic comedies. I thought they were cheesy, predictable and a waste of my time and money. I could not understand why all my childhood girlfriends loved the genre. I was the only person of color within my friend group in this small, Wisconsin town. When we went to the movie theater, my white friends saw characters that reflected them on the big screen. Julia Roberts, Kate Hudson and Sandra Bullock were great actresses, but I simply could not identify with them. My specific heritage of Thai and Persian was rare, and I did not ever expect to see someone exactly like me on screens, big or small. But, I was hoping for a “close enough” representation. The first time I saw someone on a screen that had similar physical features as me was Mila Kunis in the television sitcom That ‘70s Show. She had dark hair, she was petite and the show was set in Wisconsin. Mila Kunis is of Ukrainian decent. It was not until the release of Crazy Rich Asians did I realize why I was never a fan of rom-coms. -

In order of their appearance Fuller assembled a first-rate cast, including dia entry reads thusly: “Samuel Michael Fuller on these two CDs, they are: Richard Widmark (with whom he’d just worked (August 12, 1912 – October 30, 1997) was on Pickup on South Street), Victor Francen, an American screenwriter, novelist, and film HELL AND HIGH WATER Cameron Mitchell, David Wayne, Gene Evans, director known for low-budget, understated Richard Loo, and, as Denise Girard, newcomer genre movies with controversial themes.” One When Zanuck proposed to Fuller that his next Bella Darvi, who also just happened to be the wonders if the author of that first sentence has project after Pickup on South Street should mistress of Daryl F. Zanuck. The film’s hand- actually seen a Samuel Fuller movie, because be Hell and High Water, Fuller agreed, even some photography was by Joseph MacDonald “understated” would be about the last word though he wasn’t crazy about the script. He did and the music was by Alfred Newman, the you’d ever use about a Fuller film. After all, it as a favor to Zanuck, who’d defended Fuller head of the Fox music department, who by the according to Fuller, he didn’t speak until he when J. Edgar Hoover attacked both Fuller time of Hell and High Water had already won was almost five years old, and when he finally and Fox over Pickup on South Street, about six Oscars. did speak the first word out of his mouth was which more later. -
