Download or read book Thirty two New Takes on Taiwan Cinema written by Emilie Yueh-yu Yeh and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2022-12-22 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirty-two New Takes on Taiwan Cinema covers thirty-two films from Taiwan, addressing a flowering of new talent, moving from art film to genre pictures, and nonfiction. Beyond the conventional framework of privileging “New and Post-New Cinema,” or prominence of auteurs or single films, this volume is a comprehensive, judicious take on Taiwan cinema that fills gaps in the literature, offers a renewed historiography, and introduces new creative force and voices of Taiwan’s moving image culture to produce a leading and accessible work on Taiwan film and culture. Film-by-film is conceived as the main carrier of moving picture imagery for a majority of viewers, across the world. The curation offers an array of formal, historical, genre, sexual, social, and political frames, which provide a rich brew of contexts. This surfeit of meanings is carried by individual films, one by one, which breaks down abstractions into narrative bites and outsized emotions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Sulô was a landmark when Ayala first began developing Makati’s commercial center. Its concept of several restaurants, each with a different food theme, all under one roof was pioneering. I remember enjoying Philippine folk dances and showing off native foods there as a teenager when we had guests from overseas. Sulô’s recipe for success is important in the history of Philippine restaurants.” — Felice Pruduente Sta. Maria, Author and Food Historian

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-five years ago, the governments of Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia agreed to jointly promote the city-state, the state of Johor in Malaysia, and the Riau Islands in Indonesia. Facilitated by common cultural references, a more distant shared history, and complementary attributes, interactions between the three territories developed quickly. Logistics networks have proliferated and production chains link firms based in one location with affiliates or transport facilities in the other territories. These cross-border links have enabled all three locations to develop their economies and enjoy rising standards of living. Initially economic in nature, the interactions between Singapore, Johor, and the Riau Islands have multiplied and grown deeper. Today, people cross the borders to work, go to school, or avail of an increasing range of goods and services. New political, social, and cultural phenomena have developed. Policymakers in the various territories now need to reconcile economic imperatives and issues of identity and sovereignty. Enabled by their proximity and increasing opportunities, families have also begun to straddle borders, with resulting questions about citizenship and belonging. Using the Cross-Border Region framework - which seeks to analyse these three territories as one entity simultaneously divided and bound together by its borders - this book brings together scholars from a range of disciplines. Its 18 chapters and more than 20 maps examine the interaction between Singapore, Johor, and the Riau Islands over the past quarter-century, and seek to shed light on how these territories could develop in the future.

Book excerpt: In the year of 1857, people in the coastal town of Valda Bay face ruin due in part to the greed of Mr. Nash, the wealthiest man in town. When Nash is brutally murdered no one mourns his passing, but now, local magistrate Chief Johnson is out to discover what really happened. Everyone in town is a suspect, but the Chief is in for more than he bargained. Secrets abound, everywhere apparently, as townsfolk scurry to hide the sins of their pasts in light of the investigation. The town lighthouse keeper, Erik Johansson, seems to be one of the few members of the community hiding nothing?but even that is a lie. Rumors have followed his family for years: rumors of a great, hidden fortune worth killing for. So as Chief?s investigation goes from murder and arson, to debauchery and deceit, someone in Valda Bay seeks a treasure. A killer walks the streets. Townspeople turn on each other. Chief Johnson wonders, is Nash?s murder somehow connected to the Johansson family? If so, who stood to gain? How much would they gain, and how far would they be willing to go to get it?
Download or read book Golden Dreams of Borneo written by Alex Ling and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-03-13 with total page 792 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dreams of Gold Dreams of Power These drove men and women to seek their fortune in Sarawak. They came from Britain to carve a future on virgin soil from China - to escape grinding poverty. They fought and traded, lived and died in the struggle to fulfil their dreams. Some lost their lives to bloodthirsty headhunters, or in the disease-ridden swamps and trackless jungles of the interior; some survived to make their fortune. Chinese, British, Malays rubbed shoulders with fearsome Sea Dayaks, and nomads in the hunter-gatherer stage of evolution. The Steam Age met the Stone Age in this exotic, untouched land. Cultures clashed in a multiracial society. Charles Brooke, enigmatic White Rajah of Sarawak, was a man of vision, a man with a mission to tame the natives first, then to protect them from exploitation. His dream was to take them gently towards modern civilisation, to bring them the rewards of self-development. He was paternalistic but loving, a truly benevolent despot. Dreams of Adventure Dreams of Romance Stephen Young, a young graduate, arrives in Sarawak in 1898. Seduced by its virgin beauty steaming jungle, majestic mountains and noble savages he stays. Erotic intrigue, passion, violence and warfare surround him. His goal is to survive these with his head and his heart intact.
