Humanities Week Presents "Made in China: Cinematic Aesthetics and the Disappearing Chinese Factory"
Presented by Hai Ren, East Asian Studies
Although manufacturing in China is big business, the factory as spatial organization seems to be disappearing around the world; but not in the movies. Join Professor Hai Ren as we discuss three cinematic engagements with the Chinese factory: ethical cinema with the factory as part of a ritualized process of a community; representational cinema that shows the factory where workers become disciplined and docile; and the cinema of aesthetics, which engages the factory as a place where temporal and intellectual equalities become possible.
