Yomi Braester

My research focuses on literary and visual practices, with emphasis on modern China and Taiwan—in architecture, advertisement, screen media, and stage arts. I inquire how texts and images form and manipulate our perception of space and history. My current research projects address new media in urban spaces, and cinephilia in the PRC. I am the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Chinese Cinemas. I founded the UW Summer Program in Chinese Film History and Criticism at the Beijing Film Academy (2005-11) and have served as the president of the Association for Chinese and Comparative Literature.
