Stage and Camera: National Geographic and Southwest China
by Luo Anping
About This Novel
In 1911, the American geologist Rollin T. Chamberlin published a photo of the encounter between the stage and the camera in the small town of Dujiangyan in National Geographic magazine, allowing the West and the East to look at each other through the lens in history. Taking this as a starting point, this book comprehensively reviews National Geographic magazine's reports on China over more than a hundred years, focusing on humanistic stories and geographical landscapes at different historical stages, and giving multiple reading perspectives to the silent words and images spanning a century. The book focuses on the "corner of the Southwest" and sorts out four themes related to the image of the Southwest, covering plant geography, road transportation, ecological civilization and national culture. It uses cross-cultural and literary anthropology research methods to reflect on the multiple veils in cultural writing and explore the changes in regional civilization from different disciplinary perspectives.
