East Asian Ecocinema: Between Nation and Planet

Shedding light on the regional scale between the national cinema framework and the planetary perspective, East Asian Ecocinema: Between Nation and Planet argues for the importance of East Asia as a critical space for cinematic ecocriticism.

Drawing on the influential work of Sheldon Lu and Jiayan Mi on Sinophone ecocinema, and Tommy Gustafsson and Pietari K p 's transnational approach, the book brings together diverse perspectives that examine ecocinema in both national and transnational contexts.

Through promoting inter-East Asian conversations, the essays collectively reveal how films from East Asia can reframe global environmental discourse, decentering Hollywood and expanding ecocinema's conceptual horizons.
