Rethinking Transnational Chinese Cinemas: The Amoy-Dialect Film Industry in Cold War Asia: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Rethinking Transnational Chinese Cinemas: The Amoy-Dialect Film Industry in Cold War Asia" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The Amoy-dialect film industry emerged in the 1950s, producing cheap, b-grade films in Hong Kong for direct export to the theatres of Manila Chinatown, southern Taiwan and Singapore. Films made in Amoy dialect - a dialect of Chinese - reflected a particular period in the history of the Chinese diaspora, and have been little studied due to their ambiguous place within the wider realm of Chinese and East Asian film history. This book represents the first full length, critical study of the origin, significant rise and rapid decline of the Amoy-dialect film industry.

Rather than examining the industry for its own sake, however, this book focuses on its broader cultural, political and economic significance in the region. It questions many of the assumptions currently made about the recentness of transnationalism in Chinese cultural production, particularly when addressing Chinese cinema in the Cold War years, as well as the prominence given to the nation and transnationalism in studies of Chinese cinemas and of the Chinese Diaspora. By examining a cinema that did not fit many of the scholarly models of transnationalism, that was not grounded in any particular national tradition of filmmaking and that was largely unconcerned with nation-building in post-war Southeast Asia, this book challenges the ways in which the history of Chinese cinemas has been studied in the recent past.

Rethinking Transnational Chinese Cinemas
The Amoy-dialect film industry emerged in the 1950s, producing cheap, b-grade films in Hong Kong for direct export to the theatres of Manila, southern Taiwan and Singapore. Films made in Amoy dialect a dialect of Chinese reflected a particular period in the history of the Chinese diaspora, and have been little studied due to their ambiguous place within the wider realm of Chinese and Asian film history. This book represents the first full length, critical study of the origin, significant rise and rapid decline of the Amoy-dialect film industry.
Rather than examining the industry for its own sake, however, this book focuses on its broader cultural, political and economic significance in the region. It questions many of the assumptions currently made about the recentness of transnationalism in Chinese cultural production, particularly when addressing Chinese cinema in the Cold War years, as well as the prominence given to the nation and transnationalism in studies of Chinese cinemas and of the Chinese diaspora. By examining a cinema that did not fit many of the scholarly models of transnationalism, that was not grounded in any particular national tradition of film-making and that was largely unconcerned with nation-building in post-war South East Asia, this book challenges the ways in which the history of Chinese cinemas has been studied in the recent past.
