Product details
Winner, 2025 Lionel Trilling Book Award, Columbia College
Winner, 2024 Book Award, History Division, Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication Honorable Mention, 2024 Aldo and Jeanne Scaglione Prize for East Asian Studies, Modern Language Association From the toppling of the Qing Empire in 1911 to the political campaigns and mass protests in the Mao and post-Mao eras, revolutionary upheavals characterized China's twentieth century. In Revolutionary Becomings, Ying Qian studies documentary film as an "eventful medium" deeply embedded in these upheavals and as a prism to investigate the entwined histories of media and China's revolutionary movements. With meticulous historical excavation and attention to intermedial practices and transnational linkages, Qian discusses how early media practitioners at the turn of the twentieth century intermingled with rival politicians and warlords as well as civic and business organizations. She reveals the foundational role documentary media played in the Chinese Communist Revolution as a bridge between Marxist theories and Chinese historical conditions. In considering the years after the Communist Party came to power, Qian traces the dialectical relationships between media practice, political relationality, and revolutionary epistemology from production campaigns during the Great Leap Forward to the "class struggles" during the Cultural Revolution and the reorganization of society in the post-Mao decade. Exploring a wide range of previously uninvestigated works and intervening in key debates in documentary studies and film and media history, Revolutionary Becomings provides a groundbreaking assessment of the significance of media to the historical unfolding and actualization of revolutionary movements.- Investigating Visible Evidence: New Chal Revolutionary Becomings: Documentary Media in Twentieth-Century China, (Paperback)
