This study deals with imagery, history and temporality in the Edward Yang. It aims at investigating how these dimensions are configured through a regime de imagéité (regime of imagery) that worked within degrees of closeness and distancing of visibility and invisibility, based on the conception of the cinematographic network in order to bring forth the narrative materiality of the story, its labyrinthine and circular temporality. It will present a contextual and filmic analysis of That day on the beach (1983), A brighter summer day (1991) and Yi Yi (2000). Results show that, through the configuration of narrative regimes regarding the central questions of cinema (imagery, history and temporality), these films are constituted as language, while also being constituted in a dialectical relationship with the social reality that they address and with the historical world that they (re)invent, (trans)figure and (de)construct, with significant doses of autofiction and an intersection between individual and collective histories.
