Abstract
Description
This is a review of June Yip's book Envisioning Taiwan: Fiction, Cinema, and the Nation in the Cultural Imaginary. The book is theoretically informed and focuses mainly in the works of two very important Taiwanese intellectuals: the filmmaker Hou Hsiao-hsien and the short story writer Huang Chunming. Although there are problems in the book, enumerated in the review, the book is a thoughtful, thorough, and theoretically informed treatment of Taiwanese culture and cultural production in the 1980s and 1990s.
