Acknowledgements
I would like to express my deep appreciations to those who encouraged and helped me to accomplish this book. The lively participation of students at Chiao Tung University in my seminars on Globalization and Taiwan Cinema, and Globalization, Modernity, and Cultural Identity convinced me of the need for a volume of this nature. Above all, I wish to express my deepest gratitude to David Der-wei Wang, Edward C. Henderson Professor at Harvard University, who enthusiastically encouraged me and whose groundbreaking research on Chinese and Taiwanese culture and literature has always inspired me; Chris Berry, Professor at King’s College, London, whose insight and methodology of cinema studies have provided me with vantage point in my research on Taiwan cinema. Sincere thanks to Sara Crowley-Vingneau, Connie Li, and the editorial board at Palgrave Macmillan, the publishing crew, and the Palgrave team, for their superb professionalism. I am thankful to the anonymous peer reviewers’ kind and expert review.
