Signs and images of Chinese martial arts increasingly circulate through global media cultures. As tropes of martial arts are not restricted to what is considered one medium, one region, or one (sub)genre, the essays in this collection are looking across and beyond these alleged borders. From 1920s wuxia cinema to the computer game cultures of the information age, they trace the continuities and transformations of martial arts and media culture across time, space, and multiple media platforms.

Tim Trausch erarbeitet in diesem Buch ein Paradigma des ästhetischen Wandels im Hongkonger Martial-Arts-Film. Er zeigt, dass sich dieser im Übergang zur postkinematographischen Medienkultur des Informations- und Netzwerkzeitalters von seiner ehemals sinnstiftenden Dominanz des Performativen, ästhetischen Distanz und visuell-mimetischen Argumentationsweise löst. An deren Stelle treten der Affekt und das Zitat, die eine Neuverhandlung der Trennung von Welt und Bild bedeuten, wie sie der kinematographischen Medientechnik eingeschrieben war.​
