一、教师简介:

Professor Ying Qian, Assistant Professor in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at Columbia University, received her doctoral degree from the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations at Harvard University in 2013. She is interested in a wide range of topics, such as Chinese literature, cinema and media studies, including documentary cinema in comparative perspectives, experience and memory of China’s revolutions and socialism, and writing, translation and filmmaking in China’s multi-lingual and multi-ethnic border regions and among the Chinese Diasporas. She is completing a book manuscript entitled Visionary Realities: Documentary Cinema in China’s Revolutionary Century, which investigates documentary cinema’s capacities to mediate between the visible and the visionary in a society engineering its own radical transformation. She has also begun research for her second book, which examines works and lives of writers, translators, and filmmakers working bilingually between Chinese and a non-Han language within China. Besides academic research, she has been a filmmaker, critic, and film programmer. She has been programming documentary and Asian cinemas for the last five years. Her film criticism has appeared in Chinese, English, and Czech language newspapers and journals, and her own documentary and short films have been exhibited and broadcasted in a number of countries. She joins Columbia after a postdoctoral fellowship at the Australian National University.

二、课程简介:

This course explores topics in modern Chinese history through examining China’s changing visual culture from the late 19thcentury to the present. How have films and photography been documented, represented, or even made history in modern China? How have popular magazines and pictorials imagined communities and shaped popular understanding of historical events, and in what ways have China’s urban environment and architecture changed in response to, or anticipating, the country’s historical transformations? Taught in the bustling cosmopolitan of Beijing, this class will work with a wide range of visual materials, including fine arts, print media, photography, film, performing arts, and architecture. Students will attend weekly field trips across Beijing and beyond to explore visual cultures associated with imperial gardens, old Beijing neighborhoods and opera houses, , and new indie art spaces. Using a methodology of “dig where you stand”, this course builds capacities for critical observation and explores ways to use visual culture as an important source for understanding Chinese history. This course will include 16-20 undergraduate and graduate students from Columbia University in New York, a few other U.S. institutions, and Peking University.
