Taiwan Film Directors
This is a study of Taiwanese film and its some of most celebrated directors, focusing on the rich body of work from four contemporary filmmakers - Ang Lee, Edward Yang, Hou Hsiao-hsien and Tsai Ming-liang.
Sounding the Modern Woman
From the beginning of the sound cinema era, singing actresses captivated Chinese audiences. In Sounding the Modern Woman, Jean Ma shows how their rise to stardom attests to the changing roles of women in urban modernity and the complex symbiosis between the film and music industries. The songstress—whether appearing as an opera actress, showgirl, revolutionary, or country lass—belongs to the lineage of the Chinese modern woman, and her forty year prevalence points to a distinctive gendering of lyrical expression in Chinese film. Ma guides readers through film history by way of the on and off-screen careers of many of the most compelling performers in Chinese film history, such as Zhou Xuan and Grace Chang, revealing the ways that national crises and Cold War conflict shaped their celebrity. As a bridge between the film cultures of prewar Shanghai and postwar Hong Kong, the songstress brings into view a dense web of connections linking these two periods and places that cut across the divides of war, national politics, and geography.
The Cold War and Asian Cinemas
This book offers an interdisciplinary, historically grounded study of Asian cinemas’ complex responses to the Cold War conflict. It situates the global ideological rivalry within regional and local political, social, and cultural processes, while offering a transnational and cross-regional focus. This volume makes a major contribution to constructing a cultural and popular cinema history of the global Cold War. Its geographical focus is set on East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia. In adopting such an inclusive approach, it draws attention to the different manifestations and meanings of the connections between the Cold War and cinema across Asian borders. Many essays in the volume have...
International Film Musical
A unique study of the film musical, a global cinema tradition.
Cold War Cities
This book is a dynamic study of the range of experiences of the Cold War in Europe, East Asia and Southeast Asia in the 20th century. Comprised of ten chapters from a diverse team of scholars from Europe, East Asia, and North America, this edited volume furthers the study of the Cold War in two ways. First, it underscores the global scope of the Cold War. Beginning from Europe and extending to East and Southeast Asia, it focuses attention on the overlapping local, national, regional, and international rivalries that ultimately divided the world into two opposing camps. Second, it shows that the Cold War had different impacts in different places. Although not all continents are included, this volume demonstrates that the bipolar system was not monolithic and uniform. By comparing experiences in various cities, this book critically examines the ways in which the bipolar system was circumvented or transformed – particularly in places where the line between the Free World and the Communist World was unclear. Cold War Cities will appeal to students and scholars of history and Cold War studies, cultural geography and material cultures, as well as East and Southeast Asian studies.
New Queer Sinophone Cinema
This book looks closely at some of the most significant films within the field of queer Sinophone cinema. Examining queerness in films produced in the PRC, Taiwan and Hong Kong, the book merges the Sinophone with the queer, theorising both concepts as local and global, homebound as well as diasporic. Queerness in this book not only problematises the positioning of non-normative desires within the Sinophone; it also challenges Eurocentric critical perspectives on filmic representation that are tied to the idea of the binary between East/West. New Queer Sinophone Cinema will appeal to scholars in Chinese and film studies, as well as to anyone who is interested in queer Chinese cinema.

中國印度，合則兩利？ 今年10月底，中國發射自行研發的第一顆月球探測衛星「嫦娥一號」，為中國的月球計畫揭開序幕。明年初，印度也預定發射「月球太空船」（Chandrayaan-1）繞行月球，進行探測任務。 中國和印度這兩個曾經笑傲全球、沉寂已久的古國，近年來再度在全球經濟舞台上崛起，而它們最近在科技研發上展現的實力和企圖心，引起西方國家的注意。經濟力結合科研實力，確實是世界版圖上不容小覷的力量。但是，稍早發生在中印邊界的一件事，不像「嫦娥一號」上太空那麼引起國際矚目，對全球經濟的影響卻...

團隊力：1＋1＞2 「團隊」的重要性，對現代企業已是老生常談。但是，現在這個網網相連的世界，為團隊運作帶來許多新的挑戰。此時此刻，企業正應該重新思考團隊的意義，以及團隊如何在這個高度連結的世界裡運作。 「團隊」這個詞已經太常見，也用得太浮濫，因此許多人應該很久沒有、或從未深究「團隊」的意義。有些人誤以為一群人一起工作，就可以自稱是團隊，或是把幾個人湊在一起，安上「XX專案小組」的名號，就算是團隊了。 至少暢銷書《團隊的智慧》（The Wisdom of Teams）的作者瓊．卡然巴哈（ Jon R. Katzenbach...
