About the Author
Bliss Cua Lim is a distinguished scholar and cultural critic whose work bridges film studies, philosophy, and postcolonial theory. A professor of film and media studies at the University of California, Irvine, she explores the intersections of time, fantasy, and representation in cinema, challenging conventional narratives of temporality and cultural memory. Her research draws on diverse traditions, from Asian cinema to Western metaphysics, to interrogate how the fantastic disrupts linear time and reveals hidden dimensions of history and identity. Lim's incisive analyses have earned her acclaim for illuminating the political stakes of visual storytelling, making complex ideas accessible yet profoundly rigorous. With a commitment to transnational perspectives, she continues to shape discourses on media's role in critiquing power and imagining alternative futures.
