Description
This first-person documentary practice has become increasingly significant in China's post-Mao era, as the individual emerges as an ever more important social figure. In "My" Self on Camera, Kiki Tianqi Yu explores this mode of independent filmmaking and cultural practice.
The book combines cultural ethnography, interviews, and textual analysis to examine the motivations, aesthetic features, and ethical tensions of presenting the self on camera in contemporary China. It provides new insights into the changing notion of the individual through cinema and problematises how subjectivities are understood in this context.
