This monograph explores Taiwan in the 1960s when cinema was a site of cultural expression as much as a contested apparatus for the manufacture of political mythologies highlighting a new home and modern society.

A follow-up on “[put away] the kid on the street” (2 August 2020), Linda Lai continues to examine how, in an apparently peaceful post-war moment of Hong Kong in May 1950, three local film distributor-exhibitors fought for audiences of movies named to be celebrating the Children’s Day, with very different ethos. 倫敦謀殺案的唯一孩童證人。這不是一般的電影分享或分析,透過跨文本的觀察,試圖理解電影在社會生活世界中與別的範疇可有的種種協作果效。港產《細路祥》(1950)、蘇聯兒童片《以身許國》(1948)、英國電影童星主演的《妒花風雨》(1948),成為太平盛世的香港慶祝兒童節的電影宣傳搶客戰。

In the second of a series of field notes as short essays, Linda Lai continues to craft possible histories of Hong Kong’s everyday interiority through the lens of “intelligentsia” responses within the filmmaking community in the immediate post-WW2 years. 一連三篇由「細路祥」出發的第二篇:黎肖嫻繼續探討「細路祥」化身銀幕上,成為了甚麼樣的文化資本。小孩所牽連的是一張複雜的管治的權力網。
