This background information is crucial context for viewers, and one of the reasons teachers have long valued the hypertext version of the book. The body of the text analyzes Hou's style, representation of violence, and the complex manner in which he renders history in his oblique long-take style. The book ends with a chapter that examines a single sequence that unifies the various threads of the overall analysis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Abé Markus Nornes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1607853388\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781607853381\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Michigan Publishing Services\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.23d","brand":"Abé Markus Nornes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44131139322111,"sku":"9781607853381","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_84e94024-0c43-48ce-b5ed-406a749c2207.jpg?v=1687473241","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/staging-memories-ab-markus-nornes-9781607853381","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
