Cinema and urban culture in Shanghai, 1922-1943
Yingjin Zhang (Editor, Writer of introduction)
"This volume aims both to establish cinema as a vital force in Shanghai culture and to direct attention to early Chinese cinema, a crucial chapter in Chinese cultural history long neglected by Western scholars."--BOOK JACKET. "Representing the disciplines of film, literature, and ethnomusicology, the contributors seek to redefine concepts of cinema and urban culture in Chinese historiography. The volume will appeal to scholars whose interests lie not just in film studies and Chinese history, but also in the fields of modernity, urban studies, and popular culture."--Jacket
