The book explores cosmopolitanism and its debates through the lens of East Asian cinemas from Hong Kong, China, Malaysia and Singapore, throwing doubt on the validity of national cinemas or definitive cultural boundaries. Case studies illuminate the ambiguously gendered star persona of Taiwanese-Hong Kong actress Brigitte Lin, the fictional realism of director Jia Zhangke, the arcane process of selection for the Best Foreign Film Oscar and the intimate connection between cinema and identity in Hirokazu Koreeda's \u003ci\u003eAfterlife\u003c\/i\u003e (1998). Considering films, their audiences and tastemaking institutions, the book argues that cosmopolitan cinema does not smooth over difference, but rather puts it on display. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.
