CFP: Asian Cinemas Encounter the Cold War – Deadline: December 2, 2024
Sharing the CFP for an exciting upcoming conference on Asian cinemas and the Cold War. The committee asks:
In what ways can engaging with the Cold War and its aftermaths productively deepen our understanding of Asian cinemas beyond geopolitical borders? Can Asian cinemas be redefined in respect to their involvement with the geopolitics of the Cold War? How could cinema archive everyday life and at the same time be used as a political apparatus? How have Asian cinemas continued to be haunted by the Cold War? Can rethinking the Cold War help Asian cinemas make sense of their national culture and identity, or reconcile with war-related trauma and conflict given regional aspirations to join the global economy and leave the past behind?
Event Timing: March 28-29, 2025
