Description de l'ouvrage:
The First and Second Comings of capitalism are conceptual shorthands used to capture the radical changes in global geopolitics from the Opium War to the end of the Cold War and beyond. Centring the role of capitalism in the Chinese everyday, the framework can be employed to comprehend contemporary Chinese culture in general and, as in this study, Chinese cinema in particular.
This book investigates major Chinese-language films from mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong in order to unpack a hyper-compressed capitalist modernity with distinctive Chinese characteristics. As a dialogue between the film genre as a mediation of microscopic social life, and the narrative of economic development as a macroscopic political abstraction, it engages the two otherwise remotely related worlds, illustrating how the State and the Subject are reconstituted cinematically in late capitalism. A deeply cultural, determinedly historical, and deliberately interdisciplinary study, it approaches "culture" anthropologically, as a way of life emanating from the everyday, and aesthetically, as imaginative forms and creative expressions.
Economy, Emotion, and Ethics in Chinese Cinema will appeal to students and scholars of Chinese cinema, cultural studies, Asian studies, and interdisciplinary studies of politics and culture.
À propos de l'auteur :
David Leiwei Li is Professor of English and the Collins Professor of the Humanities at the University of Oregon, USA.
Revue de Presse:
"Approaching culture anthropologically and aesthetically, Li tasks himself with exploring a hypercompressed period of rapid change wherein China not only achieved in 'three decades what took three centuries in the West' (8), but also strove to wholly overhaul and reconstitute both the State and Subject."
David H. Fleming, University of Nottingham Ningbo China
"Li’s historical analysis is painted in very broad brushstrokes, or what he calls ‘capacious categorical umbrellas’ (9). He argues that at the time of the Opium Wars, capitalism was exercising an irresistible power to ‘remake the planet and its people after its own image’ (2)."
Mike Walsh, Flinders University
