Transnational East Asian Cinema since 1997
Saturday 06th December 2008, University of Southampton, UK
A one day symposium sponsored by Screen, hosted by the University of
Southampton with Goldsmiths, University of London and the University of Hong
Kong
The symposium will explore the relationship between cinematic representations
and transnational cultural exchange, centred on one of the most active areas
of cinematic activity over the past decade - East Asian cinema. It
encompasses a broad range of topics that reflect upon how academia,
filmmakers and the film industry have responded to the effects of globalisation,
and the ways in which representations are read through the differing
transnational contexts that exist between Asia and the West. Beyond cinema,
our event will create a significant dialogue whose relevance relates to
important issues surrounding globalisation and intercultural communication
between East and West, as well as the status and function of Film Studies in
different cultural contexts.
Confirmed Speakers: Prof. Tim Bergfelder (University of Southampton); Prof.
Chris Berry (Goldsmiths College, London); Dr. Esther Cheung (University of Hong
Kong); Dr. Gina Marchetti (University of Hong Kong); Dr. Julian Stringer
(University of Nottingham); Dr. Isolde Standish (SOAS, University of London);
Dr. Rayna Denison (University of East Anglia); Dr. Mark Morris (University of
Cambridge).
