Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Encyclopedia covers the genre from 1920 to 1994. The genre, however, can be very confusing: films often have several titles, and many of the stars have more than one pseudonym. In an effort to clarify some of the confusion, the authors have included all the information available to them on almost 3,300 films. Each entry includes a listing of the production company, the cast and crew, distributors, running times, reviews with star ratings whenever possible, and alternate film titles. A list of film series and one of the stars' pseudonyms, in addition to a 7,900 name index, are also included. Illustrated.

Download or read book Heroism as a Global Phenomenon in Contemporary Culture written by Barbara Korte and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-27 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heroes and heroic discourse have gained new visibility in the twenty-first century. This is noted in recent research on the heroic, but it has been largely ignored that heroism is increasingly a global phenomenon both in terms of production and consumption. This edited collection aims to bridge this research void and brings together case studies by scholars from different parts of the world and diverse fields. They explore how transnational and transcultural processes of translation and adaptation shape notions of the heroic in non-Western and Western cultures alike. The book provides fresh perspectives on heroism studies and offers a new angle for global and postcolonial studies.

Book excerpt: This is a place managed by a martial arts sect. The author tries his best to lead you into a different martial arts world. The two brothers were young and had stepped into the martial arts world. With curiosity, with passion, with chivalry, with the warmth of the world, should I keep my heart or become a devil? Because of his father, he couldn't use any peerless martial arts, so how could he let any random master be chased and beaten until he couldn't hold it in? Civilians could not practice martial arts in this martial arts world. There seemed to be iron-like rules here, so who was trying to break them? This martial arts world had a long history of grudges against its powerful enemies. It was full of twists and turns, and hard to fathom people's hearts. There was never a lack of chivalrous men in the martial arts world. The winds and the rain in the martial arts world rose and fell together, just like the brothers collecting the rain and wind. Their names shook the martial arts world! Close]

Book excerpt: Whether it was true history or wild history, the books did not seem to use any good words to record the first female regent of the dynasty, Dong Lingwan. Her youth had also been meek and modest, renowned far, but later on she had been ruthless, willful, and willful, leading to her authority over the court, her charms. However, people had to admit that this extremely bad woman had benefited countless people during her reign. She was the most controversial woman in the entire history of Da Ye in the past few hundred years. The position of Duke of the Phoenix of the first rank, and the power of the current Regent of the dynasty. Fourteen words, a portrait of a woman's life. The first time they met, she had been scared to tears by him and had been tricked out of the most important things. How many years had it been since she could not look for him; when they met again, she had not recognized him. He had held the knife to her throat, but she had smiled faintly and warned him haughtily. She thought that her fates with him had started because of his deliberate proximity to her. She didn't know that ten years ago, the heavens had already brought about a whole lifetime of conflict and conflict between her and him ... Join Collection

Download or read book Chinese Martial Arts: Changing Views and Practices written by Michael DeMarco and published by Via Media Publishing. This book was released on with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since ancient times, some observant people have made the revered Book of Change (Yijing) their lifelong study. Change is the fundamental principle found in every aspect of our lives. Change is the Way of the universe. Confucian and Daoist texts are filled with anecdotal and philosophic discourse related to this theme. There is little wonder why we find the concept of change in the diverse Chinese martial traditions. This anthology presents articles from the Journal of Asian Martial Arts that are related to the theme of change. This does not mean that the authors are writing solely about philosophic ideas such as yin-yang, taiji, five phases (wuxing), or the eight hexagrams (bagua). From the content of these articles you will see how the views, needs, purposes and understandings of Chinese martial arts have changed over the centuries. By expounding on these themes, each author demonstrates how the actual practice of martial arts has changed in tandem with these fluctuating views. Supported by in depth research, interviews, and field experience, the nine articles included here offer us a view of Chinese martial arts from many angles. Of course effectiveness is one of the criteria for skills that are valued as being truely martial. To improve the effectiveness, some leading practitioners gained insights from nature, particularly from the animal kingdom. Also, in both ancient and modern times, Chinese practitioners borrowed from other styles. The concept of “mixed martial arts” is nothing new.There have been spinoffs to the warrior arts. Even centuries ago the martial arts were utilized in entertaining “flowery’ performances, as in Peking opera. The variety of martial movements were certainly conducive for good health so there is a long tradition of incorporating these in exercises practices solely for health and longevity. In the early twentieth century, martial arts became a political tool for boosting the spirit of country, vitalizing the “sick man of Asia.” Perhaps the most notable change in Chinese martial arts can be seen in the modern sportification of it. Motivated by rank, trophies, and money, the combative elements have been forsaken in favor of competition and show. Orignally practical, techniques have been transformed into pure acrobatics. This special anthology provides an encompassing overview of the development and variety of Chinese martial arts. You will come to appreciate the ancient roots and the forces that have influenced how and why these arts are practiced today.

Download or read book The Jin Yong Phenomenon written by Ann Huss and published by Cambria Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pioneering book is the first English-language collection of academic articles on Jin Yong's works. It introduces an important dissenting voice in Chinese literature to the English-speaking audience. Jin Yong is hailed as the most influential martial arts novelist in twentieth-century Chinese literary history. His novels are regarded by readers and critics as "the common language of Chinese around the world" because of their international circulation and various adaptations (film, television serials, comic books, video games). Not only has the public affirmed the popularity and literary value of his novels, but the academic world has finally begun to notice his achievement as well. The significance of this book lies in its interpretation of Jin Yong's novels through the larger lens of twentieth-century Chinese literature. It considers the important theoretical issues arising from such terms as modernity, gender, nationalism, East/West conflict, and high literature versus low culture. The contributors of the articles are all eminent scholars, including famous exiled scholar, philosopher, and writer Liu Zaifu.
