Asian cinemas are connected to global networks and participate in
producing international film history while at the same time
influenced and engaged by spatial, cultural, social and political
transformations. This interdisciplinary study forwards a productive
pairing of Asian cinemas and space, where space is used as a
discursive tool to understand cinemas of Asia. Concentrating on the
performative potential of cinematic space in Asian films, the
contributors discuss how space (re)constructs forms of identities
and meanings across a range of cinematic practices. Cities,
landscapes, buildings and interiors actively shape cinematic
performances of such identities and their significances. The essays
are structured around the spatial themes of ephemeral, imagined and
contested spaces. They deal with struggles for identity, belonging,
autonomy and mobility within different national and transnational
contexts across East, Southeast and parts of South Asia in
particular, which are complicated by micropolitics and subcultures,
and by the interventions and interests of global lobbies.
