Millennial Taiwan Food Films: Naming and Epicurean Cure.This book examines the paradox of China and the United States’ literary and visual relationships, morphing between a happy duet and a contentious duel in fiction, film, poetry, comics, and opera from both sides of the Pacific. In the 21st century where tension between the two superpowers escalates, a gaping lacuna lies in the cultural sphere of Sino-Anglo comparative cultures. By focusing on a “Sinophone-Anglophone” relationship rather than a “China-US” one, Sheng-mei Ma eschews realpolitik, focusing on the two languages and the cross-cultural spheres where, contrary to Kipling’s twain, East and West forever meet, like a repetition compulsion bordering on neurosis over the self and its cultural other. Indeed, the coupling of the two—duet-cum-duel—is so predictable that each seems attracted to and repulsed by its dark half, semblable, (in)compatible for their shared larger-than-life-ness.Ethnology—AsiaCultureUnited States—Study and teachingPopular CultureOriental literatureMotion pictures—AsiaAsian Culturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411040Global/International Culturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411160American Culturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411010Popular Culture https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411170Asian Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/831000Asian Cinema and TVhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/413030Ethnology—Asia.Culture.United States—Study and teaching.Popular Culture.Oriental literature.Motion pictures—Asia.Asian Culture.Global/International Culture.American Culture.Popular Culture .Asian Literature.Asian Cinema and TV.306.095Ma Sheng-meiauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut475688BOOK9910255062603321Sinophone-Anglophone Cultural Duet2520253UNINA
