History in Images: Pictures and Public Space in Modern China Volume 66

Bys: Henriot, Christian and Yeh, Wen-hsin

The essays in this volume are organized into two groups: those that consider the use of historical photographs and those that examine the practices of Chinese cinema. They represent a preliminary effort to examine pictorial products and public communications of China's modern period. Drawing on a considerable range of empirical sources, the authors of these essays take up the methodological challenge of pictorial materials for the study of history. The diverse approaches offer a spectrum of methodological possibilities with regard to the use of images in history.
