'My' Self on Camera is the first book to explore first person
narrative documentary in China's post-Mao era. Since the emergence
of the individual as an ever more important social figure in China,
this mode of independent filmmaking and cultural practice has
become increasingly significant. Combining the approach of cultural
ethnography, interviews, and textual analysis of selected films,
this study examines the motivations, key aesthetic features and
ethical tensions of presenting the self on camera, as well as the
socio-political, cultural and technical conditions surrounding its
practice. This book problematises how the sense of self and
subjectivities are understood in contemporary China, and provides
illuminating new insights on the changing notion of the individual
through cinema.
