These \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003echanges had a significant impact on the development \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof Chinese film. Applying contemporary theories and \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eciting numerous sources in both Chinese and English, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethis book examines the works of acclaimed Chinese \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethird- to sixth-generation directors from 1977 to \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1996. Many of these filmmakers are now \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003einternationally famous either for their cinematic \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eachievements or for the political controversies \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003earising from their films. The author argues that \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChinese film during this period experienced a shift \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof cultural identity from subjection to Chinese \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etradition to submission to transnational globalism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe analysis of how and why Chinese films have \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebecome internationally popular recently should be \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eespecially useful to those interested in Chinese \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecinema. Some provocative arguments by the author are \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003elikely to trigger further debate on the preservation \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof tradition and globalization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783639111064\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePost-Cultural Revolution Chinese Feature Films 1977-1996\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783639111064","offer_id":39428858019933,"sku":"9783639111064","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/e706120a-2c31-496e-8d24-880afa78a036.jpg?v=1776494218","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/identity-tradition-and-globalism-post-cultural-revolution-chinese-feature-films-1977-1996-von-adam-lam","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
