This book explores the aesthetic and ethical ways in which history
and daily life are filmically represented and witnessed in
Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-hsien's movies. From the era of the
Japanese Occupation to the White Horror and then to the lifting of
martial law, the author shows how Hou Hsiao-hsien uses visual media
to evoke the rhythms of daily life through the emotional memory of
the characters and communities he explores. In particular, the book
focuses on the ways in which Hou Hsiao-hsien seeks to reflect the
strong dilemmas of identity and the traumatic emotions associated
with witnessing history. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, it
investigates the concepts of daily life, representation and
historical trauma in order to focus on how these films represent
history and political trauma through the nature of daily life and
personal memories, and the resulting historical responsibility and
ethics. This is the first academic monography about Hou
Hsiao-hsien's films.
