Abstract
This special issue explores how Asian filmmakers, artists, writers and scholars have been trying to disrupt established historical linearity, uncovering new spatial and temporal possibilities. It provides an opportunity to see through a lens of media archaeology which attempts to challenge linear history of media and cinema and find the “new” in the “ghost-like” and “zombie-like” media.
In the form of video essay, scholarly research and diary-like writings, the authors in this edition respond to the tensions between the old and the new in cinematic media in the context of Asia in both the 20th and the 21st century.
