Chinese Cinema and Transnational Cultural Politics: Reflections on Film Festivals, Film Productions, and Film Studies Yingjin Zhang This study situates Chinese cinema among three interconnected concerns that all pertain to transnational cultural politics: (1) the impact of international film festivals on the productions of Chinese films and their reception in the West; (2) the inadequacy of the “Fifth Generation” as a critical term for Chinese film studies; and (3) the need to address the current methodological confinement in Western studies of Chinese cinema. By “transnational cultural politics” here I mean the complicated——and at times complicit— ways Chinese films, including those produced in or coproduced with Hong Kong and Taiwan, are enmeshed in tla larger process in which popular- cultural technologies, genres, and works are increasingly moving and interacting across national and cultural borders” (During 1997: 808).

  • For Years, Whenever in Beijing, I Would Visit a Hole-In-The-Wall Eatery That Served My Favorite Cumin Mutton
    ACKNOWLEDGMENTS for years, whenever in Beijing, I would visit a hole-in-the-wall eatery that served my favorite cumin mutton. One summer day in 2003, the waiter handed me a freshly printed business card. The whole row of houses was about to be razed, and the card bore a map indicating the restaurant’s future location. The card drove home for me that I, like many who live in China’s rapidly changing cities, have been keeping a mental map of places that no longer exist and of new spaces that will soon appear. Navigating the city is also a journey across times. This is a study of such journeys, taken by residents, planners, and filmmak- ers. This book is dedicated to all those who strive to preserve the city’s multiple temporalities. Creating better cities is a joint e√ort, and the same is true of my book. Many people generously contributed to this project. I was en- couraged by the willingness of prominent filmmakers, theater profes- sionals, and artists to talk at length and provide materials: Cao Fei, Arthur Chu, Feng Jicai, Feng Mengbo, Feng Xiaogang, Gao Yiwei, Han Yuqi, Huang Jianxin, Jia Zhangke, Stan Lai, Li Longyun, Li Shao- hong, Lin Cheng-sheng, Lou Ye, Ning Ying, Ou Ning, Peng Xiaolian, Ren Ming, Sheng Qi, Shu Yi, Song Dong, Su Shuyang, Tian Zhuang- zhuang, Wang Haowei, Wang Xiaoshuai, Wang Zheng, Wu Nien-jen, Wu Qiong, Wu Tianming, Xie Fei, Xu Dawei, Yang Lina, Yu Kanping, Zhang Ding, Zhang Yang, Zhang Yuan, Zhao Liang, Zheng Dongtian, and Zhou Xiaowen.

  • ENCIRCLING the CITY Ping Fu
    09_fu:SITUATIONS 10/16/11 12:48 PM Page 151 ENCIRCLING THE CITY Ping Fu ENCIRCLING THE CITY: PEASANT MIGRATION IN CONTEMPORARY CHINESE MEDIA ural China serves as a barometer of Chinese political and historical weather. The notion of rural China is rooted in the Chinese mentali- Rty and has navigated and shaped national policy making and individ- ual’s words and actions over China’s long history. Chinese rural cinema occupied a dominant position in the screenscape of Mainland China since the People’s Republic of China (PRC), or New China, was established in 1949. However, the rural theme no longer enjoyed its prominence in Chinese cin- ema in the last three decades of the 20th century. Since 1978, China has rap- idly and vigorously shifted from a planned economy to a market economy. The economic revolution has brought about unprecedented changes. One of the changes is that market forces fractured the system that kept farmers pinned to their land for four decades. In the economic reform era, Chinese farmers became one of the vital forces in the construction of these changes with a scenario that veered towards a near total reconfiguration and recon- struction of a long history of pro-village ideology, and postulated a new pattern of the rural-urban dynamic in present day China. Enjoying this rare opportunity, farmers first expanded and relocated roadside or small-scale businesses to the city, and then continued to fill various gaps in the city job market as cinematically represented in the films discussed in this article. The migration of about 200 million farmers to the city is one of the most strik- ing social phenomena today.1 Forceful modernizations and irresistible glob- alization have blurred the line between the country and the city and renewed Chinese urban vitality and visibility.

  • 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.

  • China, Film Coproduction and Soft Power Competition
    China, Film Coproduction and Soft Power Competition Weiying Peng Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2015 Key Words China Coproduction Film coproduction Soft power Soft power competition i ABSTRACT This thesis is a study of China’s film internationalism and coproduction strategy. International coproduction has become a new area of industry debate in regard to China’s film industry. However, there has been limited scholarly attention, in both English and Chinese scholarship, paid to the activities of film coproduction between China and offshore parties. Specifically, the research looks at three representative film coproduction cases: Hong Kong and China based on Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA); US and China without any state-level agreements; Australia and China based on official film coproduction treaty. The broad intent of this study is to analyse the extent to which Chinese coproduction strategy functions as a form of soft power competition. Film coproduction in China, through the transfer of human capital, technology and knowledge, has significant implications for promoting China’s film ‘going out’, thus improving China’s soft power and building a better international image. The aim is to investigate the evolution of coproduction in the film industry, the process of coproduction, the foreign film companies’ strategies of adjustment to China’s state policy, and the challenges that hinder the coproduction. The contribution of this study comes in two parts: first, understanding the current environment for film coproduction in China and how foreign partners, especially those from western countries, deal with the historical, cultural, institutional and linguistic differences for coproduction.
