c, promoting the research project and collecting the research results
By our studying on Mikiro Naruse, Zhang Che and other authors, and also on film genres such as melodrama, martial arts film, propaganda movie and so on, the problem of the representations of bodies, and that of the cinematic body in Japanese and Chinese films have been historically and theoretically examined and analyzed. Especially our examination into the cinematic body focused on the materiality of cinema, and our analysis of masochistic model in cinema, have made a try to revise the film theory after 1970s.
