Free Download Elena Pollacchi, "Wang Bing’s Filmmaking of the China Dream: Narratives, Witnesses and Marginal Spaces "
English | ISBN: 9463721835 | 2021 | 246 pages | PDF | 3 MB
This volume offers an organic discussion of Wang Bing’s filmmaking across China’s marginal spaces and against the backdrop of the state-sanctioned ‘China Dream’. Wang Bing’s cinema gives voice to the subaltern. Focusing on contemporary China, his work testifies to a set of issues dealing with inequality, labour, and migration. His internationally awarded documentaries are considered masterpieces with unique aesthetics that bear reference to global film masters. Therefore, this investigation goes beyond the divides between Western and non-Western film traditions and between fiction and documentary cinema. Each chapter takes a different articulation of space (spaces of labour, history, and memory) as its entry point, bringing together film and documentary studies, Chinese studies, and globalization studies. This volume benefits from the author’s extensive conversations with Wang Bing and insider observations of film production and the film festival circuit.

Just like the title states so simply, "Twelve Characters" is a synthesis of Wang Fengyi’s system of Five-Element emotional healing. It is a literal translation by Sabine Wilms, PhD, of the Chinese book, recommended by Drs. Liu Lihong and Heiner Fruehauf as the ideal introduction to this powerful healing modality for the Western world. It is with great pleasure that we are able to offer you this introduction to the teachings of Wang Fengyi, a Manchurian peasant-saint born in 1864. After our previous publication "Let the Radiant Yang Shine Forth," this is only the second English-language publication for readers who seek more information on this apparently simple yet deeply moving and life-changing method of healing and self-cultivation.
