Migration and Identity in British East and Southeast Asian Cinema

By: Wing-Fai Leung

An emerging interest in a British East and Southeast Asian identity after decades of political and social exclusion has coincided with periods of economic and political challenges in the UK. In Migration and Identity in British East and Southeast Asian Cinema, Leung Wing-Fai argues that this explosive context has created rich and diverse forms of storytelling and an accented cinematic language. By offering close readings of key contemporary films and positioning them in a wider slate of releases by British East and Southeast Asian filmmakers alongside Anglophone film histories in the Global North, this book sheds light on a developing field and engenders new ways of understanding British cinema and society. The author explores changing representational politics in contemporary cinema and argues for the cinematic visibility of a hitherto silenced community. Drawing on theoretical frames from sociological, film and cultural studies to critically engage with the textual and visual language of the case studies, Leung claims the place of British East and Southeast Asian Cinema as a film and cultural movement. Highlighting diversity among the British East and Southeast Asian community, pushing boundaries in its intersectional approach to ethnicity, race, gender and sexuality, and proposing a critical framework for academic studies on diasporic film-making in the UK, this nuanced and innovative study will interest researchers, teachers and students in a range of Humanities and Liberal Arts subjects, including Film and Media Studies, Regional/Area Studies (Asia), and arts, cultural and creative productions from the East and Southeast Asian diaspora.

Digital Entrepreneurship, Gender and Intersectionality

An East Asian Perspective

By: Wing-Fai Leung

This book details qualitative research focusing on Internet startups, digital entrepreneurship, race and sex discrimination, and the sharing economy. Addressing the intersections between issues of gender, age, ethnicity and class, the author interviews startup founders, including many husband and wife teams, in order to understand the working and private lives of digital entrepreneurs in and from Taiwan who utilise Internet and mobile technologies, against a backdrop of the country’s political, social and economic history. It investigates contemporary debates about entrepreneurship as they are experienced by new generations of start-uppers who challenge existing social and cultural norms by becoming creative workers and embracing the precarity that exists in the volatile digital economy.

Multimedia Stardom in Hong Kong

Image, Performance and Identity

By: Leung Wing-Fai

This book explores how media stars in Hong Kong are formed, how they relate to popular culture and to media industries in Hong Kong and more widely, and how the phenomenon of stardom is evolving. It considers stardom across a range of media, discusses how Hong Kong stars have been a product of Hong Kong's particular cultural conditions, and how Hong Kong stars have adapted to the new conditions of Chinese rule. It concludes by examining how Hong Kong stars are increasingly popular internationally, and how the case of Hong Kong stars demonstrates the changing nature of media stars worldwide"--Provided by publisher.
