Wu Hung is Harrie A. Vanderstappen Distinguished Service Professor of Art History, and East Asian Languages and Civilization, at the University of Chicago. Special research interests include relationships between visual forms (architecture, bronze vessels, pictorial carvings and murals, etc.) and ritual, social memory, and political discourses.
From the first sets of photographic records made by Western travelers to doctored portraits of Chairman Mao and the avant-garde photographic performances of the post–Cultural Revolution era, photography in China has followed divergent paths. In this book, Wu Hung explores the multiple histories of photographic production in China, using them to tell a larger story about China’s shifting sociopolitical contexts and the different agendas, technologies, and aesthetics that have helped define its arts.
At the center of the book is a large question: how has photography represented China and its people, its collective history and memory as well as the diversity of Chinese artists who have striven for creative expression? To address this question, the author offers an in-depth study of selected photographers, themes, and movements in Chinese photography from 1860 to the present, covering a wide range of genres, including portraiture, photojournalism, architectural and landscape photography, and conceptual photography. Beautifully illustrated, this book offers a multifaceted and in-depth analysis of an important photographic history.
##這次讀的英文,很平白,仍然是時間上遠的比近的講得好…… 收獲瞭一些靈感。 花瞭兩天時間匆匆讀完巫鴻《聚焦:攝影在中國》。很難說這是一部中國攝影史通史,因為這本小書隻是選取瞭若乾不連續的片段而已,更重要的是,這隻是巫鴻的攝影史。全書都有很強的他自己知識興趣的烙印。從美術史到考古學再到實驗藝術。巫鴻選取瞭中國攝影史上他最感興趣的人和事...
評分 評分 評分 評分 評分##非常精彩的一本攝影史著作。誠如一些豆友的批評,這本書整體上的深度或許有所欠缺,敘述方式上重於個案分析,對於攝影史綫索的梳理不甚清晰。但我認為這些無法掩蓋這本書最大的亮點:根據不同視覺材料的特徵確定最為適切的分析框架。本書第一章對晚清肖像照片的研究中,巫鴻通...
評分 評分 評分##任何新來的(exotic)的事物都會經歷著陸,生根和延發的過程,隻有在本生文化中尋求到理解纔能最終超脫於本生文化的土壤,攝影也不例外。巫鴻這本書更像是會議集(conference proceedings),而文章全是他一人主導,所以像是他一個人的會議。他採取case study,大緻是以時間的順序作為安排,揭示瞭攝影在中國的歷史的若乾麵嚮,如何最初在本土通過重新錶達既定而長存的題材,互動,進而迎嚮在概念上飛躍。推薦給想瞭解攝影,但又不拘於枯燥的historical survey的讀者。
