| Summary: | Cinema in modern China was a dynamic entity, not strictly tied to one media technology, one mode of operation, or one system of aesthetic code. It was, in Weihong Bao's term, an affective medium, a distinct notion of the medium as mediating environment with the power to stir passions, frame perception, and mold experience. In 'Fiery Cinema', Bao traces the permutations of this affective medium from the early through the mid-20th century, exploring its role in aesthetics, politics, and social institutions. |
