A History of Taiwan Literature by Ye Shitao, an important public intellectual in Taiwan, was published in the crucial watershed year of 1987 when the end of martial law on the island was signaled. Ye’s work was clearly a product of that period and would have been less timid, considering the fact that the rule book on public expression had yet to be written, if it had been written later. The book is a rigorous, comprehensive treatment; it goes to great lengths to devote attention to all major writers in the history of Taiwan as well as many who were not as prominent. Ye has been fair and evenhanded in the writing of his literary history of Taiwan; there is little, if any, tendentiousness in the book. This is arguably one of the most important intellectual works of literary history, made even more impressive by Ye’s inclusion of copious notes, including Japanese-language ones.In this translation, Christopher Lupke has painstakingly translated both Ye’s main text and notes, making this va

Transnational Representations focuses on a neglected period in Taiwan film scholarship: the golden age of the 1960s and 1970s, which saw innovations in plot, theme and genre as directors highlighted the complexities of Taiwan's position in the world. Combining a concise overview of Taiwan film history with analysis of representative Taiwan films, the book reveals the internal and external struggles Taiwan experienced in its search for global identity. This cross-disciplinary study adopts a transnational approach which presents Taiwan's film industry as one that is intertwined with that of mainland China, challenging previous accounts that present the two industries as parallel yet separate. The book also offers productive comparisons between Taiwan films and contemporary films elsewhere representing the politics of migration, and between the antecedents of new cinema movements and Taiwan New Cinema of the 1980s.

This book is a cultural study of New Wave cinema that considers the experience of modernity and modernization in Taiwan and mainland China. While following separate paths, Taiwan and China have rapidly modernized, economically and culturally, since 1949. Despite differences in the political, social and economic systems of these countries, the process of modernization in both have challenged traditional cultural norms. Tonglin Lu examines how differences in cultural formation between Taiwan and China have influenced reactions to modernity and how cultural identity has taken different forms on both sides of the Taiwan straits. She illustrates how these differences in the experience of modernity are expressed through analysis of paradigmatic films produced in both countries, with a particular emphasis on their formal experiments.

內容簡介 蔡明亮推薦馮賢賢專文推薦藍祖蔚的提問一如他的筆，精準犀利。本書以「叩問」精神收錄了鍾孟宏、魏德聖、張艾嘉、陳竹昇、許瑋甯、郭南宏、文夏、瓊瑤、坂本龍一、羅大佑、柯金源等人訪談與作品論述，為台灣影史留下文字紀錄，成就獻給影迷的電影備忘錄。不知為何，我一直把藍Sir視為親人，彷彿在異鄉重逢的大哥哥。初識時，他是大報的影劇記者，我這初生之犢的小編劇，擺明了被某電影大咖欺負，其他報的記者不鳥我，只登大咖說的話，藍Sir為我打抱不平，報導我當時所受的委屈。我後來當上導演，也是一路跌跌撞撞，藍Sir每次出現，總是親切的一句：「阿亮，你怎麽樣？」而我從不把他當記者，什麽都跟他說，連我最私密的愛情；而他什麽都寫，就是不寫我的隱私。我第一次得獎在東京，一群人湧上來，看到他我就哭了，說不出話來，他撫著我的肩，也不說話。忘了為什麽哭，也許就很單純的，在那樣的時刻，看到一個了解你的人的一種觸動吧。我在中影拍《河流》，藍Sir當我的製片，片子拍完，引來譁然與爭議，他笑笑地望著我說：「高手出手，便知有沒有。」這讓我開心了許久。藍Sir出書了，很榮幸他的書有我和我的電影，他深愛電影，也深愛拍電影的人。――蔡明亮備忘錄很多時候是冷硬的資訊及意見，但藍祖蔚的台灣電影備忘錄收集的是一封又一封此心不渝的電影情書。作者把對電影的愛戀化為工作，一輩子勤奮耕耘，這是何等幸福的人生選擇。從這個角度來看，《叩問》、《夢迴》這套書不僅是台灣電影的一部個人小百科，更是生涯選擇的最佳示範。――馮賢賢本書特色1. 收錄作者多年來在《自由時報》文化周報為文化領域人物所作之訪談與評論文字。2. 訪談鍾孟宏、魏德聖、張艾嘉、陳竹昇、許瑋甯、郭南宏、文夏、瓊瑤、坂本龍一、羅大佑、柯金源等導演、編劇、演員、作家、音樂家等不同領域的代表人物3. 為台灣影史留下珍貴紀錄，呈現台灣影像文化的歷史面貌。

During the last six years of his life, F. Scott Fitzgerald was an Esquire author. Between 1934 and 1940, Fitzgerald sold some forty-five pieces of writing to the magazine - fiction, nonfiction, and personal essays. This volume of the Cambridge Edition includes thirteen short stories published by Fitzgerald in Esquire, together with the entire Pat Hobby Series -seventeen stories about an aging screenwriter scrambling to make a living in Hollywood during the 1930s. One other story - 'Dearly Beloved', submitted to Esquire but not published there - is included as an appendix. The volume provides restored, accurate texts based on Fitzgerald's surviving manuscripts, typescripts, and proofs. A textual apparatus records editorial decisions; explanatory notes identify people, places, literary works, historical events, and references to Hollywood actors, directors, and films. The volume also includes selected facsimiles of Fitzgerald's manuscripts and typescripts for the Esquire writings.
