Cinematic Representation of Early Modern Women and Epidemics
I n many different types of films produced across the twentieth and twenty-first centuries that have depicted epidemics, women have been visualized according to two recurring characteristic images.On the one hand, women have been portrayed as actual or symbolic "carriers" or "spreaders" of disease-sometimes as a punishment for perceived immorality-and usually connected to female characters deviating from the gender roles prescribed during epidemi…
Feng Xiaogang’s Youth and the Nostalgic Imagination
En analysant Youth (Feng Xiaogang, 2017), film sorti il n’y a pas longtemps, et son extraordinaire popularité en Chine, cet article entend se pencher sur les débats actuels concernant le rôle du cinéma en évoquant la nostalgie à travers la référence continuelle au passé national. Dérivé du roman semi-biographique You Touched Me du romancier chinois basé aux États-Unis Yan Geling, le film fournit à la fois une source et une réinvention de la mémoi…
Epidemics, public health workers, and ‘heroism’ in cinematic perspective
During COVID-19, acts of ‘heroism’ – particularly by ordinary people ‘from below’ – have been foregrounded, prompting complicated ethical issues in the public health context. By analysing examples from a large corpus of films about epidemics across the twentieth- and twenty-first centuries, this article investigates how cinema has represented public health workers. We find that the public health worker in epidemic-related films tends to be elite …
Projecting Chinese Rural Society in Films
Using the concept of nostalgia, this paper scrutinizes the Chinese countryside depicted in film; focusing on sharp changes resulting from modernization and nation building. Three frameworks are discussed. The first is a nostalgic idealization, and the second is an ambivalent nostalgia towards the countryside where traditional values and customs such as lack of civility, cultural repression, and poverty are criticized. The third – an alienated nos…
The Anxiety of Authenticity
This article analyses the authenticity principles connected to Hollywood’s portrayal of China and the Chinese through three important American films screened or banned in China – Broken Blossoms (1919), Shanghai Express (1932), and The Good Earth (1937) – but with a special focus on both the historical reception and censorship of these films within China itself. It is argued that the feeling of (in)authenticity played an important role in Chinese…
The Female Burden Visualized
TREATING PATIENTS in a hospital and of female medical workers visibly distressed as their heads are shaved in China during the COVID-19 outbreak have brought into the sharp focus the gendered dimensions of epidemic disease outbreaks. In many parts of the world during this pandemic, the majority of "front line" "key workers" in food sales, health and social care, and education and childcare are women. Both scholarly literature from disaster studie…
Voyage through childhood into the adult world
Literature from various social science and humanities disciplines has pointed to the fear, stress, threats, and hardship frequently experienced by children of immigrants. In coping with the stereotyped images such as ‘the model minority’ and ‘the perpetual foreigner’, the subject of Chinese American children and youth has drawn much scholarly attention, although with little systematic focus in the field of visual arts – including films. According…
Suspicious minds
One key factor that appears to be crucial in the rejection of quarantines, isolation and other social controls during epidemic outbreaks is trust-or rather distrust. Much like news reporting and social media, popular culture such as fictional novels, television shows and films can influence people's trust, especially given that the information provided about an epidemic disease is sometimes seen as grounded in 'scientific fact' by societies. As w…
The Female Mortality Advantage in the Seventeenth‐Century Rural Low Countries
Data from famines from the nineteenth century onward suggest that women hold a mortality advantage during times of acute malnutrition, while modern laboratory research suggests that women are more resilient to most pathogens causing epidemic diseases. There is, however, a paucity of sex‐disaggregated mortality data for the period prior to the Industrial Revolution to test this view across a broader span of history. We offer a newly compiled datab…
Diasporic Chinese family drama through a transnational lens
The immigrant Chinese family has increasingly been represented in transnational Chinese cinema(s) over the past three decades. Two representative films, The Wedding Banquet (Lee, 1993) and Saving Face (Wu, 2004), are chosen to shed light on Chinese filmmakers' engagement with the complex process of identity formation for immigrants through the artifice of family conflict. Both movies examine how homosexuality can pose a threat to traditional Chin…
Negotiating identity in the diasporic space
Within the field of Asian American studies, there has been an abundance of research on the cinematic representation of Chinese Americans in association with identity. While one type of study primarily focuses on the Orientalist discourse and racial politics in the Hollywood films, another approach highlights the production and distribution of Asian American independent media. Taking the representation of Chinese American families in transnational…
Negotiated “Chineseness” and Divided Loyalties
In the field of cultural studies, the notion of “Chineseness” has been problematised and challenged, especially by overseas Chinese scholars. This article suggests that Chineseness can in fact be viewed as an open signifier that is in a state of continuous construction and negotiation, drawing upon Stuart Hall's theory of cultural identity and diaspora. The article begins with a clarification of the term “Chineseness” and then focuses on the exam…
Negotiating the meaning of filial piety in The Guasha Treatment
In the field of contemporary Chinese cinema, the theme of filial piety has served as a key concept for a large number of Chinese-language films, covering various genres from melodrama to martial arts. Through a detailed narrative analysis of the cultural practices and identity politics in the filmic text, this article examines the way in which the traditional value of filial piety finds its powerful and subtle expression in Xiaolong Zheng’s lesse…
The portrayal of family in early Chinese melodrama films
This article establishes melodrama as a contextually and culturally conditioned subject, by drawing attention to Chinese melodrama films produced during the 1920s and 1930s – a period in which moral, social and political issues seemed to be most urgent and problematic. It begins with a clarification of the term ‘melodrama’ and then focuses on cinematic constructions of the family within Chinese melodrama films. Derived from the notion of Chinese …
The Cinematic Depiction of Conflict Resolution in the Immigrant Chinese Family
Both emphasising dilemmas that have been confronted by the Chinese-American family, Ang Lee’s The Wedding Banquet (1993) and Alice Wu’s Saving Face (2004) highlight the image of homosexuality as incompatible with traditional Chinese family values. Through detailed narrative analyses of these two films with a focus on the structure of the plot, the key characters, and camera work, this article aims to answer the questions of how traditional Chines…
