SUMMARY:The Use of the Modern and Taiwanese Film History
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\n\nThis
  talk will address a fundamental issue in the writing of film history: how
  do we articulate the relationship between modernity/modernization and fil
 m history without determination? That is to say\, is it possible to formul
 ate this relationship as a germinating condition for film stylistics in wh
 ich filmmakers can be seen as making meaningful choices? I propose the use
  of the modern as a means to redress the often-simplified\, unidirectional
  causality of modernity/modernization in global film historiography. My ma
 nuscript-in-progress\, Modernism Disclaimed: Taiwanese Film Historiograph
 y Before City of Sadness\, will be an exhibit in thinking along with mid-
 century Taiwanese intellectuals about the urgency of a modern cinema on th
 e island of Formosa.
