Republican lens : gender, visuality, and experience in the early Chinese periodical press

Judge, Joan, 1958- author

Overview

\"The early Republican (1911-1921) Chinese public looked, read, and interacted in profoundly different ways from its late imperial predecessor. While current scholarly has labeled the 1911 Revolution a virtual 'non-event' and the early Republic a political failure, the micro-historical view offered by the Chinese periodical press presents a much different perspective. Reversing orthodox academic practice, this book considers the realm of high politics as ephemeral and the institutions, associations, and practices of the reading and viewing public as the site of enduring and historical significance. The book centers on a selection of extraordinary photographic portraits taken from the periodical Funèu shibao, one of the few journals to straddle the 1911 divide and remain in print through the early Republican period\"--Provided by publisher.
