What does it mean for a cinematic work to be "Chinese"? Does it refer specifically to a work's subject, or does it also reflect considerations of language, ethnicity, nationality, ideology, or political orientation? Such questions make any single approach to a vast field like "Chinese cinema" difficult at best.
Accordingly, The Oxford Handbook of Chinese Cinemas situates the term more broadly among various different phases, genres, and distinct national configurations, while taking care to address the consequences of grouping together so many disparate histories under a single banner. Offering both a platform for cross-disciplinary dialogue and a mapping of Chinese cinema as an expanded field, this Handbook presents thirty-three essays by leading researchers and scholars intent on yielding new insights and new analyses using three different methodologies.
Chapters in Part I investigate the historical periodizations of the field through changing notions of national and political identity -- all the way from the industry's beginnings in the s up to its current forms in contemporary Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the global diaspora.

Manisha Patil. A short summary of this paper. Radha Krishna: Carnal Love Spiritualized. In fact Radha precedes Krishna in their combined name Radha-Krishna. Radha has become the epitome of Madhura-Bhakti devotion to God in form of Love.
Still very few people know that she is not a historical figure. Shrimad Bhagwat Purana refers to only a collective body of Gopies Milkmaids of Gokul who become enamored with the charm of Krishna. Then where does Radha come from? This 11th century Bengali Vaishnava who lived near Puri and worshipped Lord Jagannath, concretized Krishna-Bhakti in the fictional character Radha who expresses her longing for Krishna through explicit sexual imagery in his masterpiece Geet-Govinda.
Geet-Govinda was recited and even enacted through dance form in the Jagannath Puri temple. The thousands of pilgrims from various parts of India who visited Puri every year got so enchanted with the idea of God as lover and the beautiful rhythm of Geet-Govinda that they carried it back to their native places and within a very short span of mere years emerged the full fledged body of various regional literature, art and dance forms celebrating Radha Krishna love.
According to one such myth she was married as child to a boy named Chandrasen some call him Abhimanyu also who was a Vishnu-Bhakt in his previous birth. All these things attest to immense popularity of Radha Krishna love. But the question is why it became so popular? Why is it appealing to men and women across caste, class, region and even religion alike? The answer lies in the unique Indian ethos. Indian Ethos during the Middle Ages Indian society was divided into numerous castes and creeds across the geographical area.
Social mingling among members of various castes was strictly prohibited. Only the privileged few kings and Brahmin males had the access to education, knowledge of scriptures and various rituals like Yajna to attain salvation. Majority of Indian masses were degraded physically socio- economic-politically as well as spiritually. Condition of women was even worse.
