Focusing on the influence of Maoist ideology and masculinist power
on the representations of women in revolutionary opera films made
during the Cultural Revolution, this book considers the gendered
hierarchy between masculinity and femininity in relation to the
historic and cultural context in which they were made. Using
feminist methodology and epistemology to locate women's social
identity, this book explores the sociological connections between
the masculinisation of women and masculinist domination in the
context of the Cultural Revolution. Through film analysis, the
author examines whether women, rather than 'liberated', were in
fact re-gendered and oppressed by masculinist power. By critically
evaluating gender hierarchy during the Chinese Cultural Revolution,
the book provides hitherto neglected insights into gender within
its social and cultural context. This an interdisciplinary book
which should appeal to students and scholars across a range of
disciplines, including gender studies, Asian studies, China
studies, cultural studies and film studies.

Human-Computer Integration (HInt) is an emerging paradigm in the
human-computer interaction (HCI) field. Its goal is to integrate
the human body and the computational machine. Because HInt is not
an isolated area of research, the authors draw upon discussions
from related perspectives, including cybernetics, augmentation,
cyborgs, and wearables. While these prior works provide a basis for
HInt, and some of their associated challenges also apply to HInt,
the authors focus on articulating the HInt challenges that are of
particular relevance to HCI. The monograph makes three
contributions: First, the authors apply two key dimensions from
psychology - bodily agency and bodily ownership - to enhance our
understanding of HInt systems. Second, they use these two
dimensions to provide new perspectives on user integration
experiences and to develop an integration systems design space.
Third, they use the design space and its two dimensions to
articulate HInt's key challenges and group these challenges into
four areas: design, society, identity, and technology. Ultimately,
the work aims to facilitate a more structured investigation into
human body and computational machine integration.
