Tóm tắt

 This volume features new work on cinema in early twentieth-century Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Republican China. Looking beyond relatively well-studied cities like Shanghai, these essays foreground cinema's relationship with imperialism and colonialism and emphasize the rapid development of cinema as a sociocultural institution. These essays examine where films were screened
  how cinema-going as a social activity adapted from and integrated with existing social norms and practices
  the extent to which Cantonese opera and other regional performance traditions were models for the development of cinematic conventions
  the role foreign films played in the development of cinema as an industry in the Republican era
  and much more.
