This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open
programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. It is
funded by the University of Manchester. Films are produced,
reviewed and watched worldwide, often circulating between cultural
contexts. The book explores cosmopolitanism and its debates through
the lens of East Asian cinemas from Hong Kong, China, Malaysia and
Singapore, throwing doubt on the validity of national cinemas or
definitive cultural boundaries. Case studies illuminate the
ambiguously gendered star persona of Taiwanese-Hong Kong actress
Brigitte Lin, the fictional realism of director Jia Zhangke, the
arcane process of selection for the Best Foreign Film Oscar and the
intimate connection between cinema and identity in Hirokazu Koreeda
s Afterlife (1998). Considering films, their audiences and
tastemaking institutions, the book argues that cosmopolitan cinema
does not smooth over difference, but rather puts it on display."
