In a discussion that ranges from considerations of Asian and Brazilian martial arts to Bruce Lee’s interdisciplinary jeet kune do, to TV and filmic representations of martial arts and martial arts as cultural myths and practices, it examines the answers and interpretations that can be arrived at by following some of the main paradigms of cultural study—from Marxian, to psychoanalytic, to Foucauldian, to deconstructive approaches to the question. It considers the different type of“object” conjured up by these different approaches and points to the limits of these paradigms, before historicising the moment of the “birth” of Bruce Lee’s martial art of jeet kune do and his ensuing cinematic success. In doing so, it points out the simultaneity of the emergence of “Bruce Lee,” cultural studies, deconstruction, and the growth of bricolage and interdisciplinarity in culture and academia. Accordingly, it asks what the significance of such a cultural moment might be, and enquires into how we might possibly evaluate it, given that the very means of any evaluation appear to be themselves products of the cultural and historical moment they are trying to evaluate. It thus considers Žižek’s argument that contemporary cultural theory is, like the Western fascination with all things “Oriental,” and hence like the figure of Bruce Lee, merely a manifestation of contemporary capitalist ideology. The discussion circles from Žižekian Marxism to Heideggerian orientalism, before returning to the question of the cultural significance of martial arts via a final discussion of Bruce Lee and the political effects of any act of institution.  \nDean Chan, Playing with Indexical Chineseness: the Transnational Cultural Politics of Wuxia in Digital Games  \nOver the past decade, wuxia fictions have proliferated in East Asian games networks, particularly within Chinese language territories. This essay traces a cultural history of wuxia digital games from PC role-playing games (RPGs) to massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs), and offers a contextual analysis of their attendant significations. The games industry uptake of wuxia may be linked, in part, to newly emergent forms of Chinese economic nationalism. This would not only account for why wuxia has become an important aspect of Chinese digital-content production, but also how it modulates Chinese cultural identity within transnational games networks today.  \nFelicia Chan, Wuxia Cross-dressing and Transgender Identity: the Roles of Brigitte Lin Ching-hsia from Swordsman II to Ashes of Time  \nThis essay addresses the cross-dressing performances of Brigitte Lin Ching-hsia in the context of the wuxia performance tradition, its sense of spectacle and the Hong Kong film culture of which the actress is an integral part. It investigates cross-dressing as aperformative act, and explores the implications of Lin’s casting on the genre and on Hong Kong film culture as a whole. The four major films of her latter career are addressed, namely, Swordsman II (Ching Siu-tung, 1991), The East is Red (Ching Siu-tung and Raymond Lee, 1992), New Dragon [Gate] Inn (Raymond Lee, 1992) and Ashes of Time (Wong Kar-wai, 1994) .  \nSinkwan Cheng, The Chinese Xia versus the European Knight: Social, Cultural and Political Perspectives  \nThis essay contrasts the “chevalier”—a term closely tied to horsemanship, nobility and wealth—with the “xia,” a word which originally meant “upright” but makes no reference to gender, material possessions or social status. The virtues ofthe former were the direct result of the knight’s belonging to the noble stock. The virtues ofthe xia, on the other hand, were independent of class, gender, or social status.
