At the core of Martial Arts Cinema and Hong Kong Modernity:
Aesthetics, Representation, Circulation is a fascinating paradox:
the martial arts film, long regarded as a vehicle of Chinese
cultural nationalism, can also be understood as a mass cultural
expression of Hong Kong's modern urban-industrial society. This
important and popular genre, Man-Fung Yip argues, articulates the
experiential qualities, the competing social subjectivities and
gender discourses, as well as the heightened circulation of
capital, people, goods, information, and technologies in Hong Kong
of the 1960s and 1970s. In addition to providing a novel conceptual
framework for the study of Hong Kong martial arts cinema and
shedding light on the nexus between social change and
cultural/aesthetic form, this book offers perceptive analyses of
individual films, including not only the canonical works of King
Hu, Chang Cheh, and Bruce Lee, but also many lesser-known ones by
Lau Kar-leung and Chor Yuen, among others, that have not been
adequately discussed before. Thoroughly researched and lucidly
written, Yip's stimulating study will ignite debates in new
directions for both scholars and fans of Chinese-language martial
arts cinema.
