>Hello:
>I would appreciate if anyone could recommend good introductory readings
>(that can be taught in an introductory film history class) on the
>following topics:
>Hong Kong Cinema of the 1980s (if possible, with some emphasis on Woo)
Stephen Yeo. The reason I'm posting this is I'm so angry at
Bordwell's imperialism. Tan See kam's essay in the most recent Screen
is an excellent read, especially if you have Cantonese students.
>New Black Cinema of the 80s/90s (if possible, with some emphasis on Lee)
Manthia Diawara's AFI anthology; there's a Cambridge UP handbook of
essays on Do The Right Thing, but it has some very odd choices. On
Diawara see http://www.tiac.net/users/thaslett/m_diawara/diawara.html
>
>Digital Cinema
Lev Manovich (last chapter of his Languages of New Media; earlier
version in Peter Lunenfeld (ed) The Digital Dialectic. Check out
Lev's website at http://www.manovich.net/index.html for online texts

>"Judgment prevents the emergence of any new mode of existence. . . .

>of equal value, but on the contrary because what has value can be made
>or distinguished only by defying judgment" (Gilles Deleuze, "To Have
>Done with Judgment," Critical and Clinical: 135).
