Frontiers of South Asian Culture : Nation, Trans-Nation and Beyond
This book is the first of its kind to significantly concentrate on trans-nation, transnationalism and its dialogue with various nationalisms in South Asia.Taking the absence of discussion on transnationalism in South Asia as a conspicuous lacuna as well as a point of intervention, this book pushes the boundaries of scholarship further by organizing a dialogue between the nation-state and many nationalisms and the emergent method of transnationalism.It opens itself up for many cross-border movements, formulating the trans-South Asian discursive exchange necessitated by contemporary, theoretical upheavals.It looks at such exchanges through the prisms of literature and cinema and traces the many modes of engagement that exist between some of the globally dominant literary and cinematic forms, trying to locate these engagements and negotiations across three geopolitical formations and locations of culture, namely region, nation and trans-nation.

Contemporary Chinese Cinema and Visual Culture : Envisioning the Nation
Honourable Mention, Best Monograph Award, BAFTSS Publication Awards 2022Sheldon Lu's wide-ranging new book investigates how filmmakers and visual artists from mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan have envisioned China as it transitions from a socialist to a globalized capitalist state.It examines how the modern nation has been refashioned and re-imagined in order to keep pace with globalization and transnationalism.At the heart of Lu’s analysis is a double movement in the relationship between nation and transnationalism in the Chinese post-socialist state. He considers the complexity of how the Chinese economy is integrated in the global capitalist system while also remaining a repressive body politic with mechanisms of control and surveillance.He explores the interrelations of the local, the national, the subnational, and the global as China repositions itself in the world. Lu considers examples from feature and documentary film, mainstream and marginal cinema, and a variety of visual arts: photography, painting, digital video, architecture, and installation.His close case studies include representations of class, masculinity and sexuality in contemporary Taiwanese and Chinese cinema; the figure of the sex worker as a symbol of modernity and mobility; and artists' representations of Beijing at the time of the 2008 Olympics.

What is the connection between nation, nation-state, and the Janus-faced nature of national memory?
The connection between nation, nation-state, and the Janus-faced nature of national memory lies in the way that the nation-state constructs and perpetuates a collective memory that serves to unify and define the nation. The nation-state, as a political entity, seeks to create a cohesive national identity through the promotion of a shared history, culture, and values. However, this national memory can also be Janus-faced, meaning it has two contradictory aspects. On one hand, it can serve to unite and strengthen the nation, while on the other hand, it can also be used to exclude and marginalize certain groups or narratives that do not fit into the dominant national memory. This duality reflects the complex and often contested nature of national identity and memory within the nation-state.
