Why and how has the world come to form certain impressions of the Chinese and their way of life? These are issues that preoccupy Chinese citizens in the globalizing 21st century as they travel overseas, riding on the capacity of the country's newly acquired economic power. In \u003ci\u003eVisualizing China\u003c\/i\u003e, the authors join forces to launch a broader inquiry aimed at a synergistic understanding of the larger story of visuality in modern China. The essays cluster around several nodal points including photographs, advertising, posters and movies, spanning from the 1840s to the 1960s, and devote special attention to modern Chinese practices in the visualization of things Chinese.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christian Henriot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004228209\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004228207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/09\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 506\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.30w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2013","brand":"Christian Henriot","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48217652396287,"sku":"9789004228207","price":270.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_361fd866-4377-4023-b542-8414a0c53c5c.jpg?v=1771998566","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/visualising-china-1845-1965-christian-henriot-9789004228207","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
