The American Western and Native Americans
This article examines Geronimo: An American Legen d (1993) as an understudied 1990s revisionist Western. It argues that the film marks a critical moment in Hollywood's evolving portrayal of the “Indian Wars.” It demonstrates how the film reveals the structural violence of U.S. expansion through a historically grounded depiction of Apache resistance and how the film foregrounds the racialized logic of the settler‐colonial system through its depict…
Mythic frontiers and nationalism
This article examines how, since the late 1980s, Hong Kong directors have reimagined China’s western frontiers in the wuxia genre through collaborations with the mainland amid a process of deepening cross-border integration. To contextualize these representations for English-language readers, this study employs a comparative lens. It first examines the cultural and historical significance of the American Old West and China’s premodern western bor…
Addressing sophisticated misconceptions
Instructors often operate under the assumption that misconceptions stem from a preliminary, untutored, and pre-disciplinary context, leading them to traditionally adopt a refutational method inspired by the Piagetian principle of accommodation to address these naïve misconceptions. This research critiques the traditional refutational method, highlighting its problems in addressing sophisticated misconceptions embedded within a student’s conceptua…
Wuxia Cinema and Ethnic Minorities in China
This article examines ethnic minority portrayals in wuxia cinema, distinguishing between productions from mainland China and Hong Kong. Through a comparison of portrayals of Han–nomad relations with Hollywood Westerns’ depictions of white settlers and Native Americans, it highlights mainland Chinese cinema’s unique approach to ethnic dynamics and illuminates the varied ways majority ethnicities depict other ethnic groups and frontier conflicts ac…
Gender Fantasies in American Western and Chinese Wuxia Films
For scholarship on the transcultural interaction between the new school wuxia film and other genres, see Yip 2017, 153-185 and Chang Citation2018, 183-187.2 Film critics consider the first Chinese film Dingjun Mountain (Dingjun shan, 1905), a silent film recording an opera star’s performance of a scene of acrobatic fighting acts, as the first wuxia picture. Then, the genre enjoyed its first boom from the late 1920s but declined after the National…
Wooded and Watery Landscapes
contemporary memories of natural landscapes in Hollywood Westerns are often dominated by the towering buttes of Monument Valley in John Ford's films, the arid Southwest terrain captured through Budd Boetticher's lens, with its smooth clusters of rocks, and the harsh desert landscapes framing Sam Peckinpah's narratives of the US–Mexican borderlands, along with a host of other rugged terrains, including dramatically eroded canyons, sprawling mesas,…
The Complementary Importance of Static Structure and Temporal Dynamics in Teamwork Communication
Communicative exchanges consist of both static and dynamic structures that can be used for prediction. Temporal dynamics are often neglected in communication studies. We used Shannon's mathematical theory of communication to examine 1,594,690 contributions from 206,184 contributors to 38 open online collaborations. We found that about three-fourths of the total predictability of turn-taking stemmed from participation frequencies (static variance)…
Internet Censorship in the Digital Divide
The tentative study explores why information and communication technology ( ICT ) does not show effective power in increasing Chinese worker activism publicity with the digital divide framework. I conducted in-depth interviews with worker activism participants that are motivated to adopt ICT for mobilising and gaining public awareness and support for their collective actions. The study found that in addition to strategic skills and motivations, p…
