From Fu Manchu to Kung Fu Panda：Images of China in American Film主打商品 博客來

博客來網路書店歡迎您博客來書店博客來網路書局 “From Fu Manchu to Kung Fu Panda chronicles the struggle within Hollywood film to come to grips with American ambivalence toward China as a nation against the backdrop of its current economic and geopolitical ascendancy on the world stage. Reaching back to early film portrayals of Chinatown, Christian missionaries, warlords, and perverse villains bent on world domination, Greene moves from the ‘yellow peril’ to the ‘red menace’ as she examines WWII and Cold War cinema. She also explores the range of film fantasies circulating today, from films about Tibet to Chinese American independent features and the global popularity of kung fu cartoons. This accessible book allows these films to speak to the post 9-11/Occupy Wall Street generation and makes a welcome contribution to debates about Hollywood Orientalism and transnational Chinese film connections.”—Gina Marchetti, author of The Chinese Diaspora on American Screens: Race, Sex, and Cinema

“A significant work of filmography, Naomi Greene’s book explores the exotic, at times menacing, but always fantastic images of China flickering on the silver screen of the American imagination. The author writes lucidly, jargon-free, and with the sure-footedness of a seasoned scholar.”—Yunte Huang, author of Charlie Chan: The Untold Story of the Honorable Detective and His Rendezvous with American History

博客來網路書店Throughout the twentieth century, American filmmakers have embraced cinematic representations of China.? Beginning with D.W. Griffith’s silent classic Broken Blossoms (1919) and ending with the computer-animated Kung Fu Panda (2008), this book explores China’s changing role in the American imagination. Taking viewers into zones that frequently resist logical expression or more orthodox historical investigation, the films suggest the welter of intense and conflicting impulses that have surrounded China. They make clear that China has often served as the very embodiment of “otherness”—a kind of yardstick or cloudy mirror of America itself. It is a mirror that reflects not only how Americans see the racial “other” but also a larger landscape of racial, sexual, and political perceptions that touch on the ways in which the nation envisions itself and its role in the world.

In the United States, the exceptional emotional charge that imbues images of China has tended to swing violently from positive to negative and back again: China has been loved and—as is generally the case today—feared. Using film to trace these dramatic fluctuations, author Naomi Greene relates them to the larger arc of historical and political change. Suggesting that filmic images both reflect and fuel broader social and cultural impulses, she argues that they reveal a constant tension or dialectic between the “self” and the “other.”? Significantly, with the important exception of films made by Chinese or Chinese American directors, the Chinese other is almost invariably portrayed in terms of the American self. Placed in a broader context, this ethnocentrism is related both to an ever-present sense of American exceptionalism and to a Manichean world view that perceives other countries as friends or enemies

新興市場股匯「殺很大」

國際油價重挫，西德州原油每桶三○美元上下震盪激烈，引發俄羅斯盧布、墨西哥披索、南非幣蘭德、阿根廷披索在這波新興市場貨幣中貶值並創下歷史新低。不僅如此，土耳其里拉、巴西幣里耳甚至印度盧比的匯價也快要來到歷史新低，新興市場貨幣岌岌可危。假如新興市場貨幣的貶值壓力持續加重，對今年全球金融市場的發展相當不利。

這波新興市場貨幣的貶值態勢有一定的節奏，和油價有密切的關連。只要國際油價未能脫離下跌的陰霾，新興市場貨幣就難以擺脫貶值的壓力。因為油價下跌最大的衝擊者就是俄羅斯盧布和墨西哥披索，其他原物料出口大國的巴西和南非的幣值進一步走貶的壓力就很大。而國際油價下跌，也的確反應進口原油大國的中國和印度因為當地經濟不佳所造成的結果，也對人民幣和印度盧比匯價造成不小的壓力。

油價能否軋空反轉？

換句話說，國際油價的表現牽動大部分新興市場貨幣的趨勢，即使部分新興市場國家的央行進場護盤，但能否抵擋趨勢仍在未定之天！油價走勢方面，沙烏地阿拉伯目前沒有任何減產跡象，在市場競爭壓力下，全球最大產油國的俄羅斯也不可能承諾減產，加上伊朗的石油已經陸續進入國際市場，美國原油庫存創下歷史新高，是國際油價低迷的原因。

雖然國際油價曾經在一月二十二日跌深反彈達九％，但隔天又大震盪，在每桶三○～三二美元附近。市場全面看空後市，放空原油期貨部位仍超過三○．三萬口，押注西德州原油會跌破每桶二五美元的賣出選擇權未平倉合約暴增，創下超過二．九萬口的歷史新高。如果當前的市場因素缺乏讓油價止跌反轉向上的力道，油價必定朝向空頭方向發展。就算有跌深反彈的機會，但也可能是短暫的，反彈過後市場又重返下跌的軌道，這是當前國際油價的最大困境。

油價下跌，迫使與原油出口關連密切的新興市場國家開始採取貨幣控管，減緩本國貨幣貶值的壓力，阻止資金外流。實施貨幣管制的國家包括：亞塞拜然共和國（Republic of Azerbaijan）宣布，對任何把資金帶出該國的交易稅徵收二○％；沙烏地阿拉伯要求在該國擁有分支機構的銀行禁止交易員押注該國貨幣的貶值；奈及利亞最近停止進口食品和家具等商品，並對外國貨幣計價的信用卡和借記卡規定支出限額。這些資本管制措施就是為了遏阻該國資本外流的速度，減緩本國貨幣的貶值壓力。這些國家的貨幣交易員普遍押注這些貨幣將會進一步貶值。

部分國家採取貨幣管制

○九年的後金融海嘯時期，因為聯準會、歐央、日本央行與英國央行的ＱＥ政策壓抑本國貨幣貶值，大量ＱＥ資金流向新興市場貨幣，雖然一度讓新興市場貨幣升值和股市短暫上漲，卻也造成新興市場的企業和政府債務大增。隨著聯準會結束ＱＥ啟動升息機制，過去流向新興市場貨幣的熱錢又大量回流美元部位，形成新興市場股匯市同步走空的壓力至今。
