    • Abstract:
      Since the late 1940s, filmmakers in China and Japan have used cinema as a means of shaping historical memories surrounding national traumas, such as World War II, nuclear disasters, and the massive social upheaval of China’s transition towards a market economy in the 1980s. This project aims to examine films as historical artifacts which serve as vectors of memory for the events they depict. The nature of these memories is not static, and they are often subject to political and ideological forces that can manipulate historical memory, with cinema being an important tool in this process.
