Description

The first book-length analysis of kung fu comedy, this volume interrogates the politics of the films and their representations of the performing body. It draws on an interdisciplinary engagement with popular culture and an interrogation of the critical literature on Hong Kong and martial arts cinema to offer original readings of key films.

Luke White is senior lecturer in visual culture and fine art at Middlesex University, London.

Allison Alexy is assistant professor in the Department of Women's Studies and the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Michigan.
