After art-house hits like Chen Kaige's Yellow Earth (1984) and Wong Kar-wai's In the Mood for Love (2000), the Oscar-winning success of Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) disproved the old myth that subtitled films could not succeed at the multiplex.

Cruisy, sleepy, melancholy : sexual disorientation in the films of Tsai Ming-liang / Nicholas de Villiers Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 2022.

Cruisy, Sleepy, Melancholy offers a fascinating, systematic method for analyzing the queerness of Tsai’s films.
Nicholas de Villiers argues that Tsai expands and revises the notion of queerness by engaging with the sexuality of characters who are migrants, tourists, diasporic, or otherwise displaced. Through their lack of fixed identities, these characters offer a clear challenge to the binary division between heterosexuality and homosexuality, as well as the Orientalist binary division of Asia versus the West. Ultimately, de Villiers explores how Tsai’s films help us understand queerness in terms of spatial, temporal, and sexual disorientation.
Conceiving of Tsai’s cinema as an intertextual network, Cruisy, Sleepy, Melancholy makes an important addition to scholarly work on Tsai in English. It draws on extensive interviews with the director, while also offering a complete reappraisal of Tsai’s body of work. Contributing to queer film theory and the aesthetics of displacement, Cruisy, Sleepy, Melancholy reveals striking connections between sexuality, space, and cinema. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781517913182

Media in mind / David Reynolds Oxford: Oxford University Press,

In Media in Mind, author Daniel Reynolds draws upon naturalist philosophies of the mind from John Dewey through contemporary theories of embodied and extended cognition to make the case that the lines separating media from the minds of their users are not blurry or variable so much as they never existed to begin with.
Through analyses of films and video games from 1900 to the present, Media in Mind shows how media forms and technologies challenge dominant models of perception and mental representation, and how they complicate theoretical understanding of concepts like the platform and the interface. In order to do justice to the profound and literally mind-changing power of media, Reynolds argues, we need to think not so much about the relationship between media and the mind as about the roles that media play in our minds. Through this crucial distinction, Media in Mind surveys more than a century of media theory to illustrate the ways that scholars of film and digital media have situated and reconsidered a series of divisions between media, user, and world, and how these these conceptual divisions have reflected and inflected their ways of understanding the mind. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9780190872526Contents: Introduction: The Discontinuities -- 1.

Realism of the senses in World cinema : the experience of physical reality / by Tiago de Luca London: I.B. Tauris, 2014.
Call No: 64REA DELAuthor: De Luca, Tiago Source: US/UKPlace: LondonPublisher: I.B. TaurisPubDate: 2014PhysDes: xii, 268 pages : illustrations ; 24 cmSeries: Tauris world cinema seriesSubject: REALISM IN FILMS ; THEORY ; CRITICISM ; WORLD CINEMA ; REYGADAS, CARLOS ; TSAI, MING LIANG ; VAN SANT, GUS Summary: "Over the last decade, a realist tendency has made a resurgence on the world cinema map. What are its main aesthetic and political characteristics? How does it relate to the realist canon and world cinema history? What are the different facets of this phenomenon as expressed in diverse cinemas across the globe? Drawing on foundational realist theories and recent takes on the body and the senses, this illuminating book aims to provide in-depth answers to these questions by examining the fascinating work of Carlos Reygadas (Mexico), Tsai Ming-liang (Taiwan) and Gus Van Sant (USA), including award-winning films such "Japon", "Vive l'amour" and "Elephant". In their common allegiance to the long take, these are cinemas characterised by a sensory mode of address based on the protracted inspection of physical reality. Their hyperbolic focus on material phenomena, de Luca argues, translates into phenomenological film experiences that provide an antidote to a world saturated by simulation processes." -- BOOK JACKETNotes: Formerly CIP; Includes bibliographical references (pages 243-258) and indexISBN: 9781780766300Donation: Senses of CinemaContents: -- list of illustrations -- acknowledgments -- introduction -- 1: Carlos Reygadas: cinema of the impossible -- 2: Tsai Ming-liang: cinema of bodies -- 3: Gus Van Sant and visionary realism -- conclusion -- notes -- bibliography -- index --

Through detailed analysis of aspects of stillness and silence in cinema, Lim delineates the strategies by which slowness in film can be constructed. By drawing on writings on cinephilia and the films of directors such as Abbas Kiarostami, Hou Hsiao-hsien, and Nuri Bilge Ceylan, he makes a passionate case for a slow cinema that calls for renewed attention to the image and to the experience of time in film." -- BOOK BLURBISBN: 9780824836849
