> GENDER AND EAST ASIAN CINEMA: A Study Day
> Institute of Film and Television Studies
> University of Nottingham, England
> Friday 21 October, 2005.
>
> Dark Water, Happy Together, Hero, Infernal Affairs, My Sassy Girl, Old
> Boy, Shaolin Soccer, Spirited Away, Take Care of My Cat, Unknown
> Pleasures, Yi Yi....East Asia continues to produce many of the world's
> most important and innovative contemporary films. However, within the
> ever-expanding multidisciplinary field of Asian cinema studies, gender
> remains a relatively neglected issue. This study day seeks to
> illustrate the diversity of masculine and feminine representation in
> Chinese, Japanese, and Korean cinema by interrogating the cultural
> politics of gender and sexuality in its various manifestations across
> the region. We welcome papers on all aspects of gender and East Asian
> cinema and from any academic discipline. Films discussed may be from
> any historical period.
>
> The Study Day will be held as part of the 2005 East Asian Film
> Festival (17-23 October) at the picturesque Lakeside Arts Center
> (http://www.lakesidearts.org.uk/) on the University Park campus.
>
> A major academic publisher has expressed interest in publishing papers
> arising from the Study Day in book form.
