1 The Chinese Woman Doubled: An Essay in Memory of Paul Willemen (1944–2012) Chris Berry , 2013 single work essay
— Appears in: Inter-Asia Cultural Studies , vol. 14 no. 1 2013; This tribute to Paul Willemen's scholarship is inspired by his debate with Kim Soyoung about the use of the freeze-frame in South Korean film as “blockage”. It examines the phenomenon of splitting and doubling in contemporary independent Chinese films about young women alone in the public sphere, and in particular Liu Shu's Lotus (Xiao He, 2012). As well as the comparison with the South Korean situation, the essay locates these films in the long lineage of Chinese films that use the figure of the woman alone in the public sphere as a symbol of China alive in the bitter seas of modernity. The essay argues that instead of blockage, perhaps what we find with splitting and doubling is a symptom of compulsory progress under conditions of Chinese neo-liberalism, which combines a one-party authoritarian political system with a market economy structured around growth.

'The Chinese cinemas–including mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong–have been the most internationally popular and successful non-Western cinemas for almost two decades now. In recent years, they have generated a vigorous and thriving field of interpretation and criticism. Chinese Films in Focus: 25 New Takes is an anthology of 25 fresh and original readings of individual Chinese films. Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the diaspora are all included, and historical coverage ranges from the 1930s to the present. Film titles covered include Farewell My Concubine, Chungking Express, Flowers of Shanghai, The Goddess, Bullet in the Head, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Crows and Sparrows, Yi Yi, and many more. As well as globally famous films, the anthology also introduces a number of Chinese classics that are less well known internationally and deserve more attention.'
