- This monograph is the product of 10 years of research and writing. It constitutes the first book-length analysis of photography and of ideas of images in early 20th-century China and a major reconceptualisation of global modernism. As there are no extended texts or canonical images to work with (unlike in the Western context), the book excavates, juxtaposes, and analyses hundreds of previously unknown or ignored images (photographs, drawings, paintings, scientific images, advertisements) and Chinese texts (literary, theoretical, critical, ethnographic, as well as captions) based on extensive archival research in Shanghai in order to constitute its object of research.
