The Making of Modern Icons: Three Actresses of the Lianhua Film Company
Résumé
Images as a source: for the cinema of Republican China, there is a lot to do. Film studies have too often taken a textual approach to looking at Chinese cinema. Despite their best efforts, historians of Chinese cinema are still relying more on texts than on the visual. This was perhaps because for a long time movies could not be accessed. But now they are available, together with all sorts of visual material for this time-period: photos, magazine publications, posters, newsreels, etc. It is time to explore this visual material per se, without projecting upon it any strong ideological or theoretical framework. Our work hypothesis is that images can tell us more — or something different — about the history of Chinese cinema and about the world in which it was produced.
