    Chris Berry et al., "Taiwanese-Language Cinema: Rediscovered and Reconsidered" (Edinburgh UP, 2024)
    2024/11/27
    Taiwanese-Language Cinema: Rediscovered and Reconsidered (Edinburgh UP, 2024), edited by Chris Berry, Wafa Ghermani, Corrado Neri, and Ming-yeh T. Rawnsley, is a landmark contribution to studying Taiwanese cinema. The book revisits Taiyupian, a thriving yet overlooked segment of Taiwan’s cinematic history produced between the 1950s and 1970s in the Minnanhua dialect commonly used by the local Hoklo. This volume arrives at a pivotal moment when many of these films are being restored, subtitled, and critically revisited. By bringing together essays from Taiwanese and non-Taiwanese scholars, the book offers a robust framework for understanding Taiyupian’s cultural, social, and industrial dimensions. It challenges the traditional dominance of Mandarin and Japanese influences in Taiwan’s cinematic narrative, advocating for a broader, more inclusive history. The editors skilfully blend historical analysis with cultural theory, offering insights into the socio-political context that gave rise to these films and their eventual decline. The inclusion of translated Taiwanese scholarship is particularly commendable, as it ensures a dialogue between local and global perspectives. Reading this book is an eye-opening experience, especially for those unfamiliar with Taiyupian’s rich legacy. The book effectively positions these films not as relics but as dynamic cultural artefacts that continue to shape Taiwan’s cinematic and cultural identity. The writing, while scholarly, is engaging, particularly in chapters that explore Taiyupian's aesthetic and emotional resonance. The visuals and archival materials referenced throughout enhance its value as a resource for both academic and personal exploration. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone interested in Taiwanese cinema, East Asian cultural studies, or the intersection of language and identity in film. Its insights resonate far beyond the specific era it examines, offering a model for how neglected histories can be rediscovered and celebrated.

  • Talking Thai Politics: Why Thai Politics isn’t All About China

    Talking Thai Politics: Why Thai Politics isn’t All About China
    2024/11/22
    How far does geopolitics relate to domestic political leanings? Are politically progressive Thais more likely to be pro-US, and more politically conservative Thais likely to favour China? A recent article by Petra Alderman, Duncan McCargo, Alfred Gerstl and James Icovocci drawing on a 2022 survey finds some relationship between liberal domestic political leanings and sympathy for the United States, but also shows that conservative domestic political leanings do not automatically translate into support for China. To view election outcomes in a country such as Thailand as “wins” for one or other great power would be highly misleading. Article details: Petra Alderman, Duncan McCargo, Alfred Gerstl and James Icovocci, ‘All About China? (Mis)Reading Domestic Politics through a Great Power Lens’, Asian Survey, 2024, 64 (5): 877–911. Petra Alderman is a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow in Leadership for Inclusive and Democratic Politics at the University of Birmingham, and a Research Fellow at Birmingham’s Centre for Elections, Democracy, Accountability and Representation (CEDAR). Duncan McCargo is President’s Chair in Global Affairs at Nanyang Technological University. Talking Thai Politics brings crafted conversations about the politics of Thailand to a global audience. Created by the Generation Thailand project at Nanyang Technological University, the podcast is co-hosted by Duncan McCargo and Chayata Sripanich. Our production assistant is Li Xinruo.

  • Peter Worthing, "General He Yingqin: The Rise and Fall of Nationalist China" (Cambridge UP, 2016)

    Peter Worthing, "General He Yingqin: The Rise and Fall of Nationalist China" (Cambridge UP, 2016)
    2024/11/17
    General He Yingqin: The Rise and Fall of Nationalist China (Cambridge UP, 2016) is a revisionist study of the career of General He Yingqin, one of the most prominent military officers in China's Nationalist period (1928-49) and one of the most misunderstood figures in twentieth-century China. Western scholars have dismissed He Yingqin as corrupt and incompetent, yet the Chinese archives reveal that he demonstrated considerable success as a combat commander and military administrator during civil conflicts and the Sino-Japanese War. His work in the Chinese Nationalist military served as the foundation of a close personal and professional relationship with Chiang Kai-shek, with whom he worked closely for more than two decades. Against the backdrop of the Nationalist revolution of the 1920s through the 1940s, Peter Worthing analyzes He Yingqin's rise to power alongside Chiang Kai-shek, his work in building the Nationalist military, and his fundamental role in carrying out policies designed to overcome the regime's greatest obstacles during this turbulent period of Chinese history.
