Chinese Comics and Their Readers : Understanding Lianhuanhua Through Reading Acts
This book examines Chinese lianhuanhua from a readerly perspective, exploring who read these comics, how they engaged with them, and the impact of this engagement. Through detailed case studies, this volume examines how readers were integrated into the visual narratives of lianhuanhua and how these comics adapted movies, novels, and folk tales. It considers the role of materiality in the reading experience and situates lianhuanhua within the cultural, intellectual, and political contexts of their time.
By focusing on the “reading acts” that shaped lianhuanhua, this book reveals their readerly nature and lasting influence, during the Mao era and beyond. Chinese Comics and Their Readers is an essential resource for scholars and students of Chinese studies, cultural history, visual culture, and comic studies. It is also of value to researchers interested in the intersections of literature, politics, and material culture.
