    About this ebook

    Futures of Chinese Cinema contains essays by international scholars considering new directions in Chinese cinema. After the devastation of the economic crisis, the uncertainty of the Hong Kong handover and the events at Tiananmen Square in 1989, the late twentieth century and beyond has seen the emergence of a number of fresh new works from the region’s film-makers. For the first time, scholars from film studies, media studies, history and sociology have been brought together in their focus on the concepts of technology and temporality in these films.The book is innovative in its approach by arguing for a broadening of Chinese screen cultures to account for new technologies of screening – from computers and digital video to smaller screens (including mobile phones). It also examines time and technology in both popular blockbusters and independent, art films.

      Dec 5, 2022

      20세기 한국 미술에서 모방의 문제는 모든 근심의 근원이었다. 한국 미술의 역사가 서구 미술운동에 시차를 둔 반복일 뿐 자체의 뿌리를 갖는 자율적 전개가 아니라는 생각은 한국 미술 자체에 대한 비판과 우려, 자조와 체념으로 이어지곤 했다. 서구 미술의 담론, 제도, 테크놀로지의 도입을 통해 본격화되었기에 비롯된 한국 미술의 식민적 상황은 의지로 타개할 수 없는 구조적이고 항상적인 것이었다. 일제강점기를 벗어나 이제야 이 땅의 미술을 제약 없이
