Lifeworlds on two sides of the Taiwan Straits – Cinematic narratives
The Sinophone Filmmaking series, organized by Heidelberg University's Centre for East Asian Studies, includes films from Taiwan and the People’s Republic of China, depicting some of the complex and conflicted Sinophone realities and illustrating different ways of worldmaking as prescribed in the form of “main melodies” by the powers that be, on one side of the Taiwan Straits, and as described as reflections of the everyday, on the other side of the Taiwan Straits. As these films depict multiple “worlds within worlds”, from the point of view of those above, those below and those in between, they draw attention to different types of subjectivities, vulnerabilities, desires and aspirations as effects of everchanging biopolitics in the sinophone world.
