Series Statement: Global chinese culture

Content: "A study of the complex interactions between poetry and photography during the late Qing and Republican eras, at the moment when photography becomes widespread in Chinese cultural life. A relationship between image and text was forged through inscription or writing on photographs and the pairing of poems and photographs in magazines, photo albums, and poetry anthologies. By detailing the various ways in which traditional ideas, forms, and textual traditions were integrated, negotiated, or set into conflict with the new visual culture, the book demonstrates how the dynamics of textuality and visuality and the mediation of a range of emotions (romantic love, eroticism, empathy, and self-consciousness) were deeply implicated in the cross-cultural exchanges of technologies and regimes of power in the formation of Chinese literary and visual modernities"--

Series Statement: Global Chinese Culture

Content: Chinese poetry has a long history of interaction with the visual arts. Classical aesthetic thought held that painting, calligraphy, and poetry were cross-fertilizing and mutually enriching. What happened when the Chinese poetic tradition encountered photography, a transformative technology and presumably realistic medium that reshaped seeing and representing the world?Shengqing Wu explores how the new medium of photography was transformed by Chinese aesthetic culture. She details the complex negotiations between poetry and photography in the late Qing and early Republican eras, examining the ways traditional textual forms collaborated with the new visual culture. Drawing on extensive archival research into illustrated magazines, poetry collections, and vintage photographs, Photo Poetics analyzes a wide range of practices and genres, including self-representation in portrait photography; gifts of inscribed photographs; mass-media circulation of images of beautiful women; and photography of ghosts, immortals, and imagined landscapes. Wu argues that the Chinese lyrical tradition provided rich resources for artistic creativity, self-expression, and embodied experience in the face of an increasingly technological and image-oriented society. An interdisciplinary study spanning literary studies, visual culture, and media history, Photo Poetics is an original account of media culture in early twentieth-century China and the formation of Chinese literary and visual modernities.
