Project Title:
Visualising China: a study in international cultural politics Project
Description:
With China’s leaders calling for ‘innovations to enhance the international competitiveness and influence of Chinese culture’, and the US voicing fears of losing a global information war, a competition between China and the West for economic and political authority is starting to emerge, finding expression in a contest for cultural representation.
This research initiative will aim to work within the frame of debates on Western representations of China and on China’s efforts to counter misconceptions of the negative impact of its rise, analysing these new cultural contestations in the context of the changing global power dynamics. From a broad overview of Western and Chinese cultural representations of China, as it has emerged from subordination after 1949 to rise as an international power in the world today, the research will focus especially on such representations in Western and Chinese film/TV output since the 1990s. Highlighting particular case studies, the work will explore continuities/discontinuities in Orientalist reassertion and Chinese responses.
Applicants should have, or expect to receive a qualification equivalent to a high class UK honours degree. A high proficiency in English Language is required for this project at IELTS 7.0 or equivalent.
