This volume brings together specially selected articles, appearing for the first time in English, to bridge the gap in cross-cultural research in cinema and media studies.
The book is the latest in the Intellect China Library series to produce work by Chinese scholars that have not previously been available to English language academia. Covering the subjects of film studies, visual arts, performing arts, media and cultural studies, the series aims to foster intellectual debate and to promote closer cross-cultural intellectual exchanges by introducing important works of Chinese scholarship to readers.
Mengenai Pengarang
Mr. Coulson’s passion for Chinese was ignited in part by his mother’s love of Asia and in part by a love for challenge and a desire to conquer the, ‘world’s most difficult language.’ Having learned colloquial Chinese and to read and write Chinese both the traditional and modern simplified scripts, Mr. Coulson has been deepening his knowledge of classical Chinese by reading classical and Chinese philosophical texts. In his 10+ years of eclectic translation experience, Mr. Coulson’s has developed a unique personal approach to translation is guided by a strong love of poetry and the ‘music’ of language. He feels that his primary role as a translator is to find the poetic beauty, and the rhythmic and musical soul underscoring the text. This approach is particularly fitting for Chinese translation, as the language is steeped in poetry, e.g., classical Tang and Song poems. His background in art, acting, film-making and music also help bring artistic sensibilities to the language; making the finished text an enjoyable and quick read. When not engaged in translation work, Mr. Coulson enjoys spending time with family, studying and making music, and writing and singing songs.Lebih banyak ebook daripada pengarang yang sama / Penyunting
