This book is theoretically sophisticated and draws from impressively diverse disciplines, including anthropology, gender and feminist studies, screen studies, communication, and China studies. Also worthy of note is the author's thoughtfulness and self-reflectivity in terms of her own cultural positioning, hew relationships to film texts, as well as analytical methods adopted. The emphasis on publicness which runs throughout the book adds an important dimension to the literature on Chinese cinema. The book should be of interest to researchers and postgraduate students working in the areas of cinema studies, media studies, Chinese studies, feminist studies, cultural studies, and cultural anthropology.
