- Program Abstract: "In The Boatman's Daughter (director Shen Xiling, Mingxing Studio, 1935), prostitution is projected as a highly contested space where diverse urban discourses and ideologies confront and compete with each other. In this sense, those urban films which present the otherwise "unpresentable" (i.e., ill-reputed prostitutes) for the public consumption provide us with fascinating indices as to how urban imaginative functioned in The Republic China."
