This riveting work of history examines this well-publicized crime and the highly sensationalized trial of the killer. In a fascinating investigation of the media, political, and judicial records surrounding this cause célèbre, Eugenia Lean shows how Shi Jianqiao planned not only to avenge the death of her father, but also to attract media attention and galvanize public support. Lean traces the rise of a new sentiment-"public sympathy"-in early twentieth-century China, a sentiment that ultimately served to exonerate the assassin. The book sheds new light on the political significance of emotions, the powerful influence of sensational media, modern law in China, and the gendered nature of modernity. 606 $aTrials (Assassination)$zChina 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTrials (Assassination) 676 $a951.0/2 700 $aLean$b Eugenia$f1968-$01014516 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451734303321 996 $aPublic passions$92364443 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04107nam 2200577 450 001 9910790537903321 005 20230803021946.0 010 $a1-4438-5334-8 035 $a(CKB)2550000001128024 035 $a(StDuBDS)AH25702782 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001164693 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11628186 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001164693 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11182809 035 $a(PQKB)11562864 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1477555 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1477555 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10778126 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL528658 035 $a(OCoLC)859833704 035 $a(FINmELB)ELB148020 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000001128024 100 $a20131108d2013 uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aNew Wests and post-Wests $eliterature and film of the American West /$fedited by Paul Varner 205 $a1. 210 1$aNewcastle upon Tyne, UK :$cCambridge Scholars Publishing,$d2013. 215 $a1 online resource (288 p.) 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 $a1-4438-4964-2 311 $a1-299-97407-4 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 327 $apart I.

Issues of the literature and film of the American West. 330 8 $aThe writers of these chapters are often working with changing assumptions about literary and media interpretations of an American West. Here we see critical approaches to a West that never was, a West of myth so enduring that the myth dominates nearly all artistic representation about this place that never was. In this collection, we see critical approaches to a New West, a West that is a state of mind, not a geographical place but a mythic space with no boundaries and no political inevitabilities. These New Western studies accept the idea of a West that includes Canada, Mexico, Alaska, and, in the case of the US, every geographic and historical point west of the historic founding settlements. The West we study today is a post-West, an idea of the West past the traditional views of an old West dominated by white US nationalism and gendered as uncompromisingly masculine. The idea itself of a single West no longer holds validity. We now understand that all renderings of the West are renderings of multiple Wests; Wests constructed by American nationalists, Wests constructed by EuroAmerican writers and filmmakers, Wests constructed by native peoples, or Wests constructed outside the geographical boundaries of the US. - - This collection presents an eclectic array of new scholarship ranging freely over the New Wests and Post Wests, dealing with issues such as the literature of a 1950's California West; eco-crime genre fiction; the West of Edward Dorn and the Beat Movement; images of prostitution in California Gold Rush literature; European perspectives on film representations of the first peoples; the six shooter and the American West; German Westerns and Italian Westerns; The Authentic Death of Hendry Jones, by Charles Neider; and films such as The Treasure of Sierra Madre, Into the Wild, There Will Be Blood, and The Last Picture Show. - - A unique aspect of this collection is the range of writers interpreting the American West in film and literature; besides those writing from within the United States, five of the writers provide international perspectives from the United Kingdom, and the Universities of Tunis, Vienna, and Rome. - - Each chapter includes a review of scholarship on its subject and an extended bibliography for further research. - 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMotion pictures$zWest (U.S.)$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory. 676 $a288 701 $aVarner$b Paul$01474519 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790537903321 996 $aNew Wests and post-Wests$93842748 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00468nam 2200169z- 450 001 996642348003316 035 $a(CKB)4920000004544622 035 $a(EXLCZ)994920000004544622 100 $a20250204cuuuuuuuu -u- - 101 0 $aeng 200 00$aCorporate Governance: Law and Practice 210 $aUnited States 517 $aCorporate Governance 906 $aDOCUMENT 912 $a996642348003316 996 $aCorporate Governance: Law and Practice$94313189 997 $aUNISA
