Ang Lee

En este texto se estudia una porción del cine en el mundo chino. El sujeto de estudio es la trilogía de Ang Lee (李安Li An) conocida como Papá sabe más. Se tocan varios temas para ubicar contextualmente a la comida como metáfora poliséemica articuladora de las relaciones sociales. El cine de Lee, al menos el de estas páginas, es una defensa del fugu (复古), literalmente el regreso a costumbres y tradiciones antiguas. El apoyo conceptual es la cinetización, instrumento de análisis de los filmes propuesto con el objetivo de fortalecer la agenda de investigación del cine asiático.

New Framework

This chapter historicizes the work of the New Queer Cinema (NQC), a term coined by the author to describe a group of groundbreaking films that emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It argues that the NQC sensibility fueled subsequent imaginative film and television, from makers as diverse as Ang Lee, Todd Haynes, Silas Howard, and Celine Sciamma. At the heart of the chapter is the conviction that contemporary politics demand a new framework for queer and trans media, namely the idea of intersectionality, demonstrated by makers and artists such as Janelle Monae, Allie Logout, Wu Tsang, The Nest Collective, and the trio of Mika Gustafson, Olivia Kastebring, and Christina Tsiobanelis. Intersectionality enables mutuality, recognition, and alliance in a time of deep division and terror; it asks queer media makers to take transgression beyond personal expressions and identity into collective acts of world making.

Star studies sees film stars as “structured polysemy” and anticipates a salient system of meaning for us to decode and appreciate. Performance theory treats meaning as “conjunctural” rather than “structured” and privileges improvisation and juxtaposition. Approaching star studies through performance theory helps explore a wealth of filmic techniques and performative tactics. This article focuses on Tony Leung Chiu-Wai’s “self-effacing” performance of repetition and examines special cases of play and liminality as well presence and absence in In the Mood for Love (Wong Kar-Wai, 2000) and Lust Caution(Ang Lee, 2007). These cases challenge our conventional habit of thought and cognition and reveal the unacknowledged potential of artistic alternative and alteration vis-à-vis history and reality. This study of Tony Leung’s performance directs attention beyond action stars to romantic male roles in Chinese films.

Film Comedy

Informed by centuries of Daoist, Buddhist, Shinto, and Confucian thought as well as the particularities of Eastern languages and customs, film comedy in China, Korea, and Japan offers fascinating new viewpoints for Westerners. In contrast to the Greek distinction between comedy and tragedy, laughter in East Asia tends to be allied with equilibrium, an integral part of a balanced state and state of mind. This chapter highlights major figures and trends associated with humor in Japan (Yasujiro Ozu, Juzo Itami, Toshiro Mifune), Korea (Jee-won Kim, Sang-jin Kim), Hong Kong (Jackie Chan, Stephen Chow), Taiwan (Chun Han Wang, Ang Lee), and the People’s Republic of China (Zhang Yimou, Xiaogang Feng).
