About the Book
"The Politics of Memory in Sinophone Cinemas and Image Culture" by Hsiao-yen Peng explores the powerful role of Sinophone cinemas in shaping the collective memory and historical narratives of Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Mainland China. It examines how these regions utilize cinema and image culture to archive and reinterpret the past while asserting different political and historical self-conceptions.
Key Themes:
-
Memory and History: The book focuses on how Sinophone cinemas act as archives, preserving and reinterpreting the past, and how they contest dominant political narratives to express alternative histories.
-
Cinematic Representation: It delves into the creative processes of image production and the politics embedded within the films, showing how cinema in the Sinophone world serves as a tool for rewriting and reclaiming histories.
-
Cultural and Political Contestation: The book addresses the ways in which different Sinophone regions use cinema to reflect their political tensions and self-awareness within a globalized and multicultural context.
