One master, many identities: Kung fu and history in the films about Ip Man
Owing to the conflicting waves of nationalism in mainland China and localism in Hong Kong, the long-standing dispute over Hong Kong's identity has intensified over the past decade or so. The historical discourses presented in the films about the kung fu master Ip Man reflect this trend. Focusing on the Ip Man series, Ip Man: The Final Fight, and The Grandmaster, this article examines how they dramatise the life story of Ip Man and articulate identities from various historical perspectives. These films exemplify how the kung fu genre actively responds to the ideological landscape and socio-political climate of the prevailing society.
期刊介绍:
The Asian Journal of Social Science is a principal outlet for scholarly articles on Asian societies published by the Department of Sociology, National University of Singapore. AJSS provides a unique forum for theoretical debates and empirical analyses that move away from narrow disciplinary focus. It is committed to comparative research and articles that speak to cases beyond the traditional concerns of area and single-country studies. AJSS strongly encourages transdisciplinary analysis of contemporary and historical social change in Asia by offering a meeting space for international scholars across the social sciences, including anthropology, cultural studies, economics, geography, history, political science, psychology, and sociology. AJSS also welcomes humanities-oriented articles that speak to pertinent social issues. AJSS publishes internationally peer-reviewed research articles, special thematic issues and shorter symposiums. AJSS also publishes book reviews and review essays, research notes on Asian societies, and short essays of special interest to students of the region.
