Deadline: 1 April 2013
Editors: Brian Bergen-Aurand, Nanyang Technological University, Mary Mazzilli, Nanyang Technological University, Hee Wai Siam, Nanyang Technological University. This collection invites essays considering the evolving relation among National, Transnational Chinese, and Sinophone Cinemas and conceptualizations and deployments of embodiment and the body. It seeks to consider multiple aspects of Transnational Chinese and Sinophone Cinematic production, distribution, exhibition, and reception (critical and theoretical). And, it strives to consider bodies located in different times, places, and situations. The editors seek perspectives on Transnational Chinese and Sinophone Cinemas in terms of representation and function, identification and recognition, as phenomenological encounter, material process, “lived experience,” “sensation,” where cognitive, emotional, and corporeal processes meet. These essays will engage with Transnational Chinese and Sinophone Cinemas in the light of new approaches to the traditional mind/body divide.
This volume on Transnational Chinese Cinema calls for examinations of these issues in all forms. The editors invite essays that consider these (and other related) topics:
