{"product_id":"9780739188484","title":"Chinese Lesbian Cinema: Mirror Rubbing, Lala, and Les","description":"The emergence of lesbian film in the first decade of the twenty-first century symbolizes a breakthrough through the creation of new cinema that opens up a space that was not previously available or accessible in China. These motion pictures present a new breed of characters—namely, lesbians—as well as a new sexual subject on the screen for the first time in the history of Chinese cinema. Blending historicist and comparative approaches, this book begins with a critical genealogy of Chinese homosexual traditions in the first two chapters. This strategy allows the author to examine a number of films individually through contextualizing their historical and cultural articulations and interpretations through the remainder of the book.","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47106823749872,"sku":"9780739188484","price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780739188484_p0.jpg?v=1769900439","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780739188484","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
