【演講摘要About the Talk】

This talk rethinks the Cold War in Asia by examining ecology as a Cold War scale. Focusing on recent cultural productions about the Malayan Emergency (1948-1960) - an underrepresented Cold War conflict that involved large-scale resettlement processes and ecological transformations of rural Malaya, in the name of counter-insurgency - I show how the invocation of ecology in these works broaden and counter national and imperial narratives of the Emergency. These works, including documentary film, photography, and literature, commemorate the displacement of ethnic Chinese bodies from an existing Nanyang ecology, expanding our spatial imagination of the Cold War beyond a national scale.
