Description and Table of Contents

Description

Kuoshu (cinema studies and modern languages, Northeastern U.) investigates how ideological discourses in China, especially the national-cultural and social-class discourses, dictate cinematic and theatrical figuration. He takes a few groups of figures on screen or stage to explore their changes or refigurations as they are adapted from literary texts.
