  • The 1989 Tiananmen Square Protests in Chinese Fiction and Film
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Making the Censored Public: The 1989 Tiananmen Square Protests in Chinese Fiction and Film A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature by Thomas Chen Chen 2016 © Copyright by Thomas Chen Chen 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Making the Censored Public: The 1989 Tiananmen Square Protests in Chinese Fiction and Film by Thomas Chen Chen Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Kirstie M. McClure, Co-Chair Professor Robert Yee-Sin Chi, Co-Chair Initiated by Beijing college students, the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests—"Tiananmen"— shook all of China with their calls for democratic and social reforms. They were violently repressed by the Chinese state on June 4, 1989. Since then, their memory has been subject within the country to two kinds of censorship. First, a government campaign promulgating the official narrative of Tiananmen, while simultaneously forbidding all others, lasted into 1991. What followed was the surcease of Tiananmen propaganda and an expansion of silencing to nearly all mentions that has persisted to this day. My dissertation examines fiction and film that evoke Tiananmen from within mainland China and Hong Kong. It focuses on materials that are particularly open to a self-reflexive reading, such as literature in which the protagonists are writers and films shot without authorization that in their editing indicate the precarious ii circumstances of their making. These works act out the contestation between the state censorship of Tiananmen-related discourse on the one hand and its alternative imagination on the other, thereby opening up a discursive space, however fragile, for a Chinese audience to reconfigure a historical memory whose physical space is off limits.

  • Rouge (1988) Una Storia D'amore (E Di Fantasmi) Divisa Tra I Fasti Del Passato E La Quotidianità Del Presente
    Rouge (1988) Una storia d'amore (e di fantasmi) divisa tra i fasti del passato e la quotidianità del presente. Un film di Stanley Kwan con Anita Mui, Leslie Cheung, Alex Man, Emily Chu, Kara Hui, Chia Yung Liu, Sin Hung Tam, Yin Tse, Irene Wan, Yue Wong. Genere Drammatico durata 93 minuti. Produzione Hong Kong 1988. Emanuele Sacchi - www.mymovies.it Hong Kong, 1987. La tranquilla quotidianità dell'editor Yuan (Alex Man) e della fidanzata Chu (Emily Chu) viene turbata dall'apparizione dello spettro di Fleur (Anita Mui), una cortigiana suicidatasi cinquant'anni prima insieme al suo amante Chen Chen-pang (Leslie Cheung). Essendo rimasta da sola all'Inferno, Fleur torna tra i vivi per scoprire quale sia stata la sorte dell'amato. Il fatto che 'Rouge' si intitoli come il primo film in lingua cantonese (anno 1925) chiarisce quali siano le ambizioni insite in quello che rimane, con ogni probabilità, il film-chiave per comprendere la poetica di Stanley Kwan. Caso emblematico di connubio tra esigenze autoriali, plauso della critica e successo commerciale - a produrre è un inatteso Jackie Chan - Rouge è stato per anni indicato come pietra di paragone per comprendere il cinema di Hong Kong (oltre ad aver acquisito una sinistra fama dopo la morte temporalmente ravvicinata di Cheung e della Mui nel 2003). Senza ricorrere a effetti speciali, infatti, senza stupire né ricorrere a scorciatoie di qualsivoglia natura, Kwan riesce a infondere una fortissima passionalità a una storia di fantasmi sui generis, o meglio a una storia di vivi (ma a tutti gli effetti morti nella speranza) e morti (il cui cuore non pulsa più, ma la cui passione è viva e inestinguibile).

  • Hong Kong's Trove of Female Literary Talent Copy
    VIEW ONLINE | FORWARD TO A FRIEND EVENTS | PROGRAMMES | CEO BLOG Dear TWF friends “I would venture to guess that Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman.”- Virginia Woolf, British author In the last few years, the lack of gender diversity has been at the forefront of every conversation all over the world and the literary world is no exception. Despite the diversity and breadth of female authors, women’s voices in literature continue to be under-represented in publishing, bestseller lists and literary awards. Biases in the ways men and women’s subjects and themes are perceived continue to hinder the recognition of female authors. In 2015, American author Catherine Nichols described her experience of having her first novel universally rejected by publishers, but was met with a very different result when she submitted it under a male pseudonym. Hong Kong has its own trove of female literary talent. Eunice Lam (1943-2018), who passed away this May at the age of 75. A prolific writer, Lam penned more than 80 books, including Crazy, The Burial of Youth and Fate, and regular columns for major newspapers Ming Pao and Apple Daily. The Shanghai-born Eileen Chang (1920-1995) continues to have a cult following in both Chinese-speaking and English-speaking worlds more than two decades after her death. Chang has a special connection to Hong Kong, having studied at the University of Hong Kong and stayed in the city intermittently. It was in Hong Kong that she wrote her first English- language novel, The Rice Sprout Song and the city was frequently featured in Chang’s work, including Lust, Caution, The Book of Change and Little Reunions.
