活動摘要:
This talk will place organ trade
narratives in the work of Hong Kong directors in dialogue with films by
European and American directors like Stephen Frears and Clint Eastwood. In
particular, it will analyze how Hong Kong cinema plants concerns about Chinese
transnational and cultural identity in the rich symbolic soil of the evolving
technologies and ethical dilemmas associated with organ transplant. What are
the new aesthetics of the body in an age when the progressively transnational
character of film production mirrors the national and regional permeability of
the global organ trade and ultimately, of course, the permeability of the body
itself? This talk will suggest that “organ transplant”films by Fruit Chan and
the Thailand-based Pang Brothers express a dual anxiety not only about the
potential dilution or colonization of individual identity in the post-colonial
state, but –as Hong Kong films are increasingly marketed to, adapted for, and
even produced in international markets –about the disappearance of the
film-makers’own “vision”amidst the demands of the global marketplace.
