중국 초기 애니메이션과 시각적 근대성: 『철선공주』의 리듬분석 = Early Chinese Animation and Visual Modernity: A Rhythmanalysis of Princess Iron Fan

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper examines the creation of an archaeology of Chinese animation within the socio-cultural context of visual media at the beginning of twentieth century in China as it has served in the development and transformation of modernity, essentially generated by the mass-production and mass-consumption with daily base. I will first sketch the urban popular culture of Shanghai, which conceived many of the milestones of visual modernity during the 1920s-1930s of Republican China through wartime into the late 1930s and the 1940s. On providing further escription of the emergence of particular visual media as it relates to the early Chinese animation, such as lianhuanhua and manhua, I will present a semiotic analysis model to comprehend specific rhythms influencing Chinese visual practices during that period. Finally, I will apply my rhythmanalysis model to the first Chinese feature animated film Princess Iron Fan which created impressive new rhythms from a long past traditional narrative within a rapidly changing modern China.
