BETWEEN SHANGHAI AND HONG KONG

內容簡介

內容簡介 A pioneering study of the Chinese cinemas in Shanghai and Hong Kong and the complex connections between them during the period of war, occupation, and civil war. Based on meticulous archival research and a repetorary of rarefilms, most of which were believed lost, this book is a pioneering critical study of the Chinese cinemas in Hong Kong and Shanghai and their complex interconnections. The years 1935-50 were a period of ceaseless violence in China, of war, occupation, civil war, and colonialism, leading to mass displacements of millions of people and extreme poverty. Both the cinema and the broader popular culture of this period have been little studied, partly because access to research materials is so difficult, partly because of the political problems involved (most films produced during the war have been considered pro-Japanese and their makers traitors). This study brings to light the humanity of the filmmakers, writers, and business people; the many facets of the historical situation in which they worked; and the complex politics of the films they made. This is also an original and important study of the regional networks, diasporic connections, and border-crossing movement of goods, capital, and people that drew Hong Kong and Shanghai together in an intercity nexus that sustained the survival and even flourishing of popular cinema during this tumultuous period.

各界推薦

各界推薦 本書是少數專述中國電影發展的專門書籍，在香港及上海兩地發展的重要中國電影史，以及兩地電影發展密不可分的關係。1935~1950年之間，對中國而言是一投極度動盪不安的時期，戰爭、殖民、內戰…，造成許多流離失所的人民，也讓整個中國陷入極度貧窮的困境之中。這 段時間的大眾文化研究可以說是全部付諸闕如，不僅是可供研究的資料都被破壞怠盡，另一方面則是因為政治因素的考量（在那個時期所完成的電影，通常被認為帶有親日意識）。本書從人的角度出發，為了瞭解當時導演、編劇及電影業人士的創作背景、歷史上的政治背景和影響，透過大量的文獻考究，及一批珍貴的電影資料，回顧在那個動盪不安的時期，兩地通俗文化的發展，以及對後來電影工業的影響。是一份難得的研究資料。 美國學者傅葆石嘗試縷述一段鮮為人留意的中國電影史，以三十年代後期抗戰以至1950年的歷史為經，描述上海和香港兩個電影雙城之間的故事，探討都市電影文代和國族思想的政治論述間微妙而複雜的關係，其中更涉及淪陷時期上海電影這個極高爭議性的歷史議題，以及娛樂電影與政治之間的轇轕。
