DV-Made China: Digital Subjects and Social Transformations after Independent Film
Cite
Abstract
This volume canvasses the social and cultural landscapes of Chinese grassroots and alternative cinema practices after the digital turn around the new century. A forceful and increasingly diversified DV movement, with its significant political and aesthetic aspirations, contributes to China’s profound social and cultural transformations with creative energy as well as urgent critique. Here, essays by an international group of established and younger scholars in cinema and media studies, anthropology, history, Asian and Tibetan studies bring innovative interdisciplinary methodologies to critically expand on existing scholarship on contemporary Chinese independent documentary. Their inquiries then extend to narrative feature, activist video, animation, and other digital hybrids. For moving-image cultures, the digital collapses older distinctions of infra-and superstructure, production and consumption, creating new human networks that can lead to novel forms of agency and empowerment along with new expressive possibilities. DV-Made China introduces new frameworks in a Chinese setting that range from ethics, aesthetics to activism, from digital shooting and editing techniques to the politics of film circulation in festivals and online. Their implications for social change are intertwined with the fate of media culture in the new century of a world that both contains and is influenced by China.
