From fashion sketches of smartly dressed Shanghai dandies in the 1920s, to multipanel drawings of refugee urbanites during the war against Japan, to panoramic pictures of anti-American propaganda rallies in the early 1950s, the polymorphic cartoon-style art known as manhua helped define China’s modern experience. Manhua Modernity offers a richly illustrated, deeply contextualized analysis of these illustrations across the lively pages of popular pictorial magazines that entertained, informed, and mobilized a nation through a half century of political and cultural transformation. In this compelling media history, John Crespi argues that manhua must be understood in the context of the pictorial magazines that hosted them, and in turn these magazines must be seen as important mediators of the modern urban experience. Even as times changed—from interwar-era consumerism to war-time mobilization to Mao-style propaganda—the art form adapted to stay on the cutting edge of both politics and style.CaricaturePolitical aspectsChina20th centuryCaricatureChinaHistory20th centuryCaricatures and cartoonsChinaHistory20th centuryCommunism and cultureChinaHistory20th centuryPolitical cultureChinaHistory20th centuryPERFORMING ARTS / Film & Video / History & CriticismbisacshSocial ScienceMedia StudiesArtAsianChinesePerforming ArtsFilmHistory & CriticismCaricaturePolitical aspectsCaricatureHistoryCaricatures and cartoonsHistoryCommunism and cultureHistoryPolitical cultureHistoryPERFORMING ARTS / Film & Video / History & Criticism.741.5/6951Crespi John A.authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut907047DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910427724703321Manhua Modernity2028927UNINA
