{"product_id":"hollywood-diplomacy-hye-seung-chung-9781978801561","title":"Hollywood Diplomacy: Film Regulation, Foreign Relations, and East Asian Representations","description":"\u003ci\u003eHollywood Diplomacy\u003c\/i\u003e contends that, rather than simply reflect the West's cultural fantasies of an imagined \"Orient,\" images of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean ethnicities have long been contested sites where the commercial interests of Hollywood studios and the political mandates of U.S. foreign policy collide, compete against one another, and often become compromised in the process. While tracing both Hollywood's internal foreign relations protocols--from the \"Open Door\" policy of the silent era to the \"National Feelings\" provision of the Production Code--and external regulatory interventions by the Chinese government, the U.S. State Department, the Office of War Information, and the Department of Defense, Hye Seung Chung reevaluates such American classics as \u003ci\u003eShanghai Express\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Great Dictator\u003c\/i\u003e and applies historical insights to the controversies surrounding contemporary productions including \u003ci\u003eDie Another Day\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Interview\u003c\/i\u003e. This richly detailed book redefines the concept of \"creative freedom\" in the context of commerce: shifting focus away from the artistic entitlement to offend foreign audiences toward the opportunity to build new, better relationships with partners around the world through diplomatic representations of race, ethnicity, and nationality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hye Seung Chung\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1978801564\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781978801561\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2021","brand":"Hye Seung Chung","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48454002278655,"sku":"9781978801561","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_551ce5d0-03da-4e9a-91b3-83065c756717.jpg?v=1777303573","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hollywood-diplomacy-hye-seung-chung-9781978801561","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
