Routledge The Politics of Memory in Sinophone Cinemas

Explore how cinema archives memories, conserves the past, and rewrites histories in this academic study from the Routledge Contemporary China Series. This book examines how contemporary Sinophone cinemas in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the People's Republic of China use images of contested politics to assert unique histories and self-consciousness. As Sinophone cinemas and image production function as living archives, they possess the capability to reinterpret the multiple dimensions of both the past and the present. This text investigates Sinophone films and art projects that engage with these complex historical processes. It provides a deep look at how visual culture shapes our understanding of identity and political memory within these specific regions.
