Charting Asian German Film History
"Provides a diachronic view of Asian German film history from early Orientalism to increasing collaboration as well as exploration of difference and alternate forms of national and cultural belonging. From re-creating seedy opium dens and Hindu temples on set to capturing dazzling, on-location sights of Tokyo's neon-lit streets and Berlin's bustling Dong Xuan Center, cinema has provided German-speaking audiences a window into the "exotic" cultures of Asia since the early 1900s.

Reading Queer Media in the German-Speaking World

In so doing, it argues that just as we need to take an inclusive approach to defining what queer print media is and could be, we also need to take seriously the textual forms of these sources in order to understand the wealth of queer experiences in the past.

The strength of this volume lies not only in its efforts to include multiple theoretical perspectives, which integrate Ge...
