Long abstractKalia Brooks Nelson’s ‘The Performance of Doubles: The Transposition of Gender and Race in Ming Wong’s Life of Imitation’ highlights Wong’s work and the reception of gendered-racial narratives that are distributed through the international reach of Hollywood image culture, and received by audiences in other parts of the world. Wong’s video intervenes in the cinematic depiction of racial passing, and the limitations that are enacted through this form of psychological doubling.
