Emotion and Visuality in Chinese Literature and Culture

Situated in historical and cultural contexts from the Song dynasty to Republican China, this special issue of the Journal of Chinese Literature and Culture delves into the multi-dimensional interactions between visuality and textuality, as well as the role and ramifications of emotive expression in works of art and cultural practices. The seven original papers make significant contributions to the contemporary critical discussions of the history of the emotions, image-text relationships, and the affective experience of Chinese culture.
