Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Taiwan is in danger of becoming the last isle, losing its sovereignty and identity. The Last Isle opens from where Taiwan film scholarship leaves offthe 1980s Taiwan New Cinema, focusing on relatively unknown contemporary films that are unglobalizable, such as Cape No. 7, Island Etude, Din Tao, and Seven Days in Heaven. It explores Taiwan films inextricability with trauma theory, the irony of loving and mourning Taiwan, multilingualism, local beliefs, and theatrical practices, including Ang Lees white films. The second half of the book analyzes Taiwans popular culture in Western-style food and drink, conditions over living and dying, and English education, concluding with the source of Taiwans anxietyChina. This book distinguishes itself from Taiwan scholarship in its stylistic crazy quilt of the scholarly interwoven with the personal, evidenced right from the outset in the poetic title The Last Isle, coupled with the dissertating subtitle. This approach intertwines the helix of reason and affect, scholarship and emotion. The Last Isle accomplishes a look at globalization from the bottom up, from a global Taiwan whose very existence is in doubt. Explores the affective toll of Taiwans geographical and political proximity to China through a critical analysis of contemporary Taiwanese film and culture. It examines the complex, precarious relationship between the sovereign state of Taiwan and China in order to consider what this might mean global anxiety around the growing power of China.
