Art Publication In the most comprehensive and authoritative source
on this subject, Comics Art in China covers almost all comics art
forms in mainland China, providing the history from the nineteenth
century to the present as well as perspectives on both the industry
and the art form. This volume encompasses political, social, and
gag cartoons, lianhuanhua (picture books), comic books, humorous
drawings, cartoon and humor periodicals, and donghua (animation)
while exploring topics ranging from the earliest Western-influenced
cartoons and the popular, often salacious, 1930s humor magazines to
cartoons as wartime propaganda and comics art in the reform.
Coupling a comprehensive review of secondary materials (histories,
anthologies, biographies, memoirs, and more) in English and Chinese
with the artists' actual works, the result spans more than two
centuries of Chinese animation. Structured chronologically, the
study begins with precursors in early China and proceeds through
the Republican, wartime, Communist, and market economy periods.
Based primarily on interviews senior scholar John A. Lent and Xu
Ying conducted with over one hundred cartoonists, animators, and
other comics art figures, Comics Art in China sheds light on tumult
and triumphs. Meticulously, Lent and Xu describe the evolution of
Chinese comics within a global context, probing the often-tense
relationship between expression and government, as well as proving
that art can be a powerful force for revolution. Indeed, the
authors explore Chinese comics art as it continues to grow and
adapt in the twenty-first century. Enhanced with over one hundred
black-and-white and color illustrations, this book stands out as
not only the first such survey in English, but perhaps the most
complete one in any language.
This book analyzes of the surplus of production capacity in China.
According to a government statement, there is a serious surplus of
productive capacity in the steel, cement, glass, aluminum, and
shipbuilding industries. There was no surplus of productive
capacity in above industries between 2002 and 2012, and the current
surplus is due to poor government policies on real estate prices
after 2012. The book argues that if the Chinese government invested
more in social welfare housing over the next few years the surplus
of productive capacity would very soon disappear.
This monograph summarizes the recent achievements made in the field of iterative learning control. The book is self-contained in theoretical analysis and can be used as a reference or textbook for a graduate level course as well as for self-study. It opens a new avenue towards a new paradigm in deterministic learning control theory accompanied by detailed examples.
