In this thesis, cultural hybridity is used as the main theoretical concept to analyze Ang Lee’s martial art film—“Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”. As a cultural hybridity that is produced in the age of globalization, the film’s role of interconnecting and interacting Western and Eastern cultures is discussed in the thesis. Another concern in the thesis is about the debate between cultural homogenization and heterogenization in the process of cultural hybridization in the age of globalization; therefore, by analyzing the cultural impacts brought by “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” in both the West and the East, the power relations operated within are also discussed.
Chapter one deals with theories that are related to globalization, cultural globalization, and cultural hybridity in the age of globalization. Chapter two argues Ang Lee’s “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” as a cultural hybridity by examining the cultural interactions that are displayed in the film. Chapter three discusses the cultural impacts brought by this film in the global market. In the conclusion, the direction of cultural flows in the age of globalization is discussed.
