  3. Chinese Animation
    1. Thomas Paul , Thesen

    Chinese Animation

    This first volume of Chinese Animation explores the meaningful impact of Chinese religion, philosophy, and aesthetics on 20th-century animation in China. It establishes a foundation in traditional Chinese art, design and intellectual concepts to analyse animated films and features. The focus is on the ink-wash painting style, its artistic evolution, spiritual significance, and the transformation of natural energies (qi ¿) into painted images, concepts that have profoundly shaped China's cinematic animation. The films that receive specific attention are Where is Mama? (1960), The Cowherd's Flute (1961) and Feelings of Mountains and Waters (1988).

    Body and Blood

    Exposes the deep Catholic roots of American horrorFrom exorcisms to suffocating catacombs, grinning corpses, and electric holy water, Catholicism and American horror go hand in hand. Body and Blood cuts horror open to reveal how the Catholic tradition has shaped its supernatural and grotesque aesthetics in the modern world.Making the case that it is impossible to understand the enduring popularity of horror without recognizing its religious elements, this volume makes two groundbreaking claims. First, that there is a profoundly Catholic current coursing through modern American horror and that the genre comes alive in new ways when we hold it to the light of the Catholic past. And second, that Catholic history is horrifying in ways that demand our attention, ranging from the supernatural figures who visited children with visions of the apocalypse to settler colonialism and clergy sexual abuse. Catholicism is not exceptional in its capacity to horrify, of course. However, this book shows how contending with the Catholic dimension of the genre teaches us something important about horror and its hold on audiences in the United States, and it invites us to understand Catholicism anew.Offering a shocking view of Catholic history as you have never seen it before, Body and Blood presents both scholars and fans alike with an accessible entry into the dark underbelly of America's religious landscape.

    A Critical Analysis of China's Animation Industry

    From the Magic Lantern to Artificial Intelligence

    This book offers a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of the Chinese animation industry, tracing its evolution from the magic lanterns of the 19th century to the cutting-edge AI-powered productions of today. It provides readers with an unparalleled look into the fascinating world of Chinese animation, exploring its rich history, cultural significance, and economic impact. Through extensive research, including original interviews with key industry figures and policymakers, this volume illuminates the complex interplay between artistic creation, technological innovation, market forces, and government policies that have shaped the trajectory of animation in China. The journey begins with the early origins of moving images in China, exploring how traditional storytelling methods and visual arts laid the groundwork for the emergence of animation. The author describes the pioneering work of the Wan brothers, whose groundbreaking animations in the 1920s and 1930s set the stage for the development of a uniquely Chinese animation aesthetic. The book then delves into the golden age of Chinese animation during the socialist era, examining how the state-supported Shanghai Animation Film Studio produced internationally acclaimed works that blended traditional Chinese art forms with modern animation techniques. As China entered the reform and opening-up period, the animation industry underwent significant transformations. The book analyzes how the commercialization and globalization of the 1980s and 1990s reshaped the landscape of Chinese animation, bringing both new opportunities and challenges. Furthermore, it examines the influx of foreign animations, particularly from Japan and the United States, and how this influenced domestic production and audience preferences.

  11. The Analog Revisited

    The Analog Revisited

    This collection of essays explores the complexities of the photographic image in the wake of the digital turn. While the digital image has, in effect, effaced the necessity for a pre-existing "reality," the presumed indexical function of the photographic image has by no means disappeared-technical images continue to organize, if not generate, our shifting modes of perception. How do we reconsider analog photographs, given that they can and are likely to show up on a variety of digital platforms? How do we re-view technical images that make the invisible visible, given that current imaging technologies generate new visualities as such? How does the digital force us to reconceptualize the analog? Individual chapters engage with a range of technical images approached from various critical and/or theoretical perspectives. One focuses on composite photographic portraits in eugenics and in contemporary art through Deleuze and Guattari's notion of facility. Another assumes a pedagogical approach that pursues the photographic as a metaphor for knowledge practices through staging embodied encounters with digital living. Another explores the work of the artwork through a study of contemporary art photography by means of object-oriented ontology and new aesthetic realism. Yet another presents an infographic genealogy that tracks the technical image across a modernist telematic media-verse. One chapter offers a critical exploration of a silent film hero through her various analog and digital incarnations. Another explores a Lacanian-inspired perspective on the consequences of the shift from analog to digital for the subjects in front of the camera, the posers. One chapter focuses on the analog Anthropocene through an investigation of an Italian film factory and its material and human legacies. A final contribution investigates the relationship between photography and disaster through a discussion of a triple disaster-the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear accident that occurred in Japan in 2011.
