Description

Shadow Modernism explores Shanghai's pivotal role as the epicentre of China's modern media culture during the early twentieth century. William Schaefer examines how photographic practices in Shanghai became a crucial forum for debating culture, ethnicity, history, and the nature of images themselves. The book traces the city's paradoxical relationship with its past, where residents experienced Shanghai as a space transplanted from Europe yet paradoxically haunted by traces of an absent history. Through detailed analysis of photography as the central modernist form in China, Schaefer reveals how the medium was neither understood nor practiced primarily as documentary representation, but rather as a complex cultural and artistic practice. This scholarly work published by Duke University Press provides essential insight into the intersection of photography, modernism, and urban experience in early twentieth-century China.
