Chinese Martial Arts and Media Culture (eBook, ePUB)

Global Perspectives
Redaktion: Trausch, Tim

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Signs and images of Chinese martial arts increasingly circulate through global media cultures. As tropes of martial arts are not restricted to what is considered one medium, one region, or one (sub)genre, the essays in this collection are looking across and beyond these alleged borders. From 1920s wuxia cinema to the computer game cultures of the information age, they trace the continuities and transformations of martial arts and media culture across time, space, and multiple media platforms.
