By Jane Chi Hyun Park

Yellow Future examines the emergence and popularity of techno-oriental
representations in Hollywood cinema since the 1980s, focusing on the
collective fantasy of East Asia as the future. Jane Chi Hyun Park
demonstrates how this fantasy is sustained through imagery,
iconography, and performance that conflate East Asia with technology,
constituting what Park calls oriental style.
PRAISE FOR YELLOW FUTURE:
"Yellow Future’s emphasis on ‘oriental style’ is interesting and
fresh. I can see other scholars in the field picking up this term and
running with it, both in their writing and teaching. Jane Chi Hyun
Park has written an excellent, useful book."—Lisa Nakamura, University
of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
