This volume on Chinese animation and socialism is the first in English that introduces the insider viewpoints of socialist animators at the Shanghai Animation Film Studio in China. Although a few monographs have been published in English on Chinese animation, they are from the perspective of scholars rather than of the animators who personally worked on the films, as discussed in this volume. Featuring hidden histories and names behind the scenes, precious photos, and commentary on rarely seen animated films, this book is a timely and useful reference book for researchers, students, animators, and fans interested in Chinese and even world animation.   This book originated from the Animators’ Roundtable Forum (April 2017 at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology), organized by the Association for Chinese Animation Studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Apart from the informative and valuable resources, Du also shares her personal academic experience in this area… In a way, the establishment of this marginalized field can be attributed to her outstanding efforts. This book showcases her endeavours to push the field forward. As an excellent reference book containing useful textual accounts of Chinese socialist animations, it is not only essential for scholars and students interested in the fields of Chinese animation and even worldwide animation but also beneficial to animators who strive to learn from the past.\"   -Shasha Liu, University of Toronto, The China Quarterly (2022).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments  List of Figures  List o Contributors    Introduction   Chinese Animation and Socialism    Daisy Yan Du    PART 1  The Splendor of Socialist Animation    1 Mochinaga Tadahito in Early Socialist China    Mochinaga Noriko, translated by Nick Stember and Yan Chen    2 Walking Our Own Path and Innovating    Duan Xiaoxuan, translated by Nick Stember    3 An Authentic Animator    Yan Dingxian, translated by Nick Stember    4 Dribs and Drabs    Lin Wenxiao, translated by Nick Stember    5 National Style and Characterization    Pu Jiaxiang, translated by Isabel Galwey    6 On the Art of Papercutting Animation    Pu Yong, translated by Isabel Galwey and Eva Chang    PART 2  The Transition to Postsocialist Animated Filmmaking    7 From Layman to Animator    Yan Shanchun, translated by Isabel Galwey and Eva Chang    8 In Love with Science Fiction Animation    Dai Tielang, interviewed by Daisy Yan Du, organized by Song Han, translated by Yixing Li    9 Tradition and Innovation    Chang Guangxi, translated by Sean Macdonald    10 Yilimei and the Shanghai Animation Film Studio    Zhou Keqin, translated by Yixing Li    PART 3  The Soundscape of (Post)Socialist Animation    11 Synesthesia of Music and Image    Jin Fuzai, translated by Sean Macdonald    12 My Career as an Animation Voice Actress    Ding Jianhua, interviewed by Daisy Yan Du, organized by Song Han, translated by Yixing Li    PART 4  The Literary Landscape of (Post)Socialist Animation    13 My Career as a Screenwriter    Ling Shu, translated by Yixing Li    PART 5  In Memory of Socialist Animators    14 Those Who Should Not Be Forgotten    Yin Xiyong, translated by Eva Chang    15 In Memory of My Father Wang Shuchen    Wang Yiqian, translated by Yixing Li    PART 6  More than a Fairy Tale: Politics and Chinese Animation    16 A Tradition of Political Propaganda    Fung Yuk Song, translated by Isabel Galwey and Shaopeng Chen    PART 7  Chinese Animation Goes Abroad    17 Chinese Animation in Japan, 1940s–80s    Ono Kōsei, translated by Isabel Galwey, Eva Chang, and Yan Chen      Epilogue   Socialist Legacy in the Digital Age    Daisy Yan Du    Bibliography  Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210833584471,"sku":"9789004499591","price":122.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/chinese-animation-and-socialism-from-animators-perspectives-9789004499591","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
