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. Chinese Films in Focus II updates and expands the original Chinese Films in Focu: 25 New Takes with fourteen brand new essays, to offer thirty-four fresh and insightful readings of key individual films. The new edition addresses films from mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and other parts of the Chinese diaspora and the historical coverage ranges from the 1930s to the present." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes list of illustrations and index -- includes lists of Chinese names and Chinese film titlesISBN: 9781844572373Contents: Notes on contributors -- Introduction: one film at a time - again / Chris Berry -- 15: The Singapore failure story, 'slanged up' / Song Hwee Lim -- Big Shot's Funeral: Performing a post-modern cinema of attractions / Yingjin Zhang -- Black Cannon Incident: Countering the counter-espionage fantasy / Jason McGrath -- Blind Shaft: Performing the 'underground' on and beyond the screen / Jonathan Noble -- Boat People: Second thoughts on text and context / Julian Springer -- Centre Stage: A shadow in reverse / Berenice Reynaud -- A Chinese Ghost Story: Ghostly counsel and innocent man / John Zou -- Chungking Express: Time and its displacements / Janice Tong -- Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Cultural migrancy and translatability / Felicia Chan -- Crows and Sparrows: Allegory on a historical threshold / Yiman Wang -- Durian Durian: Defamiliarisation of the 'real' / Esther M.

Media in mind / David Reynolds Oxford: Oxford University Press,
Call No: 62 REYAuthor: Reynolds, David Edition: 2019Place: OxfordPublisher: Oxford University PressPhysDes: x, 206 pages : illustrated ; 24 cmSubject: PERCEPTION ; SPECTATORSHIP ; QUATRE CENTS COUPS, LES (FR, Francois Truffaut, 1959) ; ARGENT, L' (FR, Marcel L'Herbier, 1928) ; NI NEI PIEN CHI TIEN (FR/TZ, Tsai Ming-Liang, 2001) Summary: Where do you end, and where do media begin? 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 --

Tsai Ming-liang and a cinema of slowness / Song Hwee Lim Honolulu: University of Hawai'i Press, 2014.

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
