This book looks closely at some of the most significant films
within the field of queer Sinophone cinema. Examining queerness in
films produced in the PRC, Taiwan and Hong Kong, the book merges
the Sinophone with the queer, theorising both concepts as local and
global, homebound as well as diasporic. Queerness in this book not
only problematises the positioning of non-normative desires within
the Sinophone; it also challenges Eurocentric critical perspectives
on filmic representation that are tied to the idea of the binary
between East/West. New Queer Sinophone Cinema will appeal to
scholars in Chinese and film studies, as well as to anyone who is
interested in queer Chinese cinema.

How has European identity been shaped through its colonial empires?
Does this history of imperialism influence the conceptualisation of
Europe in the contemporary globalised world? How has coloniality
shaped geopolitical differences within Europe? What does this mean
for the future of Europe? Postcolonial Europe: Comparative
Reflections after the Empires brings together scholars from across
disciplines to rethink European colonialism in the light of its
vanishing empires and the rise of new global power structures.
Taking an interdisciplinary approach to the postcolonial European
legacy, the book argues that the commonly used nation-centric
approach does not effectively capture the overlap between different
colonial and postcolonial experiences across Europe.
