{"product_id":"9781452940946","title":"Coproducing Asia: Locating Japanese-Chinese Regional Film and Media","description":"\u003cp\u003eEast Asia largely functions as a single film and media market, but behind it exists a multifaceted world of coproduction crossing linguistic and national borders. In \u003cem\u003eCoproducing Asia\u003c\/em\u003e, Stephanie DeBoer guides readers through a rich genealogy of regional film and media coproduction, all the while introducing innovative methods for their examination across decades, locations, and scales of production in East Asia and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeginning with the present and moving back in time, \u003cem\u003eCoproducing Asia\u003c\/em\u003e paints a picture of the assemblages of coproduction in East Asia and their negotiation of Cold War geopolitics and imperial legacies along with the emergence of China as a global market. Addressing wide-screen international romances of the early 1960s, technology transfers of Cold War action cinema, Sino–Japanese “friendship” TV collaborations, Asian omnibus film and video, and more recent China-centered blockbusters, DeBoer deftly contextualizes each case study while accounting for the difficulties involved in the cultural, creative, and industry mediations associated with coproduction. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on rarely seen archival research as well as interviews with producers in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Taipei, and Shanghai, \u003cem\u003eCoproducing Asia\u003c\/em\u003e provides compelling frames for understanding the significance of film and media coproduction in East Asia, making clear that it is not only a site of technological transformation but also an arena for competing senses of regional location and place. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Minnesota Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128675123440,"sku":"9781452940946","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781452940946_p0.jpg?v=1763848227","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781452940946","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
