About Photography in China - Science, Commerce and Communication
Emphasizing the medium’s reception among several Chinese constituencies, this book explores photography’s impact within new discourses on science, as well its effectsin social life, visual modernity and the media during China’stransition from imperial to republican government. General knowledge and academic teaching of early modern Chinese visual culture stops short of fitting photography into the larger context of visual practices and theories.
