In the history of world cinema, Taiwan cinema faces a crisis of being absent and narrowed. Thompson & Bordwell's Film History: An Introduction (1998) claimed that Taiwan cinema became matured until 1986, and before that Taiwan was not a source of innovative filmmaking. Sklar's A World History of Film (2001) puts Taiwan cinema under the sub-genre of China cinema. Hong, G, the associate professor of Chinese Literature and Culture at Duke University published the book, "Taiwan Cinema: A Contested Nation on Screen," (2018) focus on refuting the marginalized writings of Western canonic texts, and reconstructing the history of Taiwan Cinema. He attempts to reconstruct the imagination of Taiwan cinema history in the framework of "Nationalism" and challenges the biased views of Western film historians who marginalized Taiwan cinema's historical positioning and contributions. Taiwanese national cinema not only shows unique local characteristics, but also has been regarded as means to resist the domination of Hollywood films. By examining the history of Taiwan cinema, this book also demonstrates the dynamic relationship of "nationality" under historical changes. |
