The Evolution of Chinese Popular Cinema provides insights into the Chinese film industry and popular cinema in the past two decades (with a major focus on the films produced since the mid-2010s).The book emphasizes on the film market in mainland China since the mid- 2010s and how it has been dramatically different from the previous decades, featuring big names like Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang. Witnessing an age of baokuan films - films that have renewed box office records, represented by Wolf Warrior 2, The Wandering Earth, Nezha, and Hi, Mom - this study contends that baokuan films have forged a unique category in the landscape of Chinese cinema. It further reveals how these commercially successful films interact with industrial, economic, political, and social elements, illuminating transformations in Chinese filmmaking amid the country's evolving landscape since the 2010s through the post-pandemic era.It will be an insightful resource for undergraduate students, postgraduate students, and general audiences interested in Asian Studies, Film Studies, Chinese media and cultural studies, contemporary Chinese cinema and cultural industries, and Chinese cinema studies. The book will also inspire researchers in China Studies by discussing the instability of globalization and China's changing global strategies, state and popular nationalism, and the rise of active audiences through the lens of popular films.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2020 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Komparatistik, Vergleichende Literaturwissenschaft, Note: 1.0, Freie Universität Berlin, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In dieser Arbeit werden Schopenhauers Aphorismen mit Graciáns Handorakel detailliert verglichen. Die Hauptfrage dieser Arbeit lautet: Wie und inwiefern rezipiert Schopenhauer Graciáns Ideen in seinem Werk, mit anderen Worten, welche Einflüsse hat Graciáns Buch "Oráculo manual y arte de prudencia" auf Schopenhauers Moralistik bzw. Moralphilosophie? Um diese Frage zu beantworten, ist es sinnvoll, eine inhaltliche Analyse auf vergleichende Weise vorzunehmen und die dargestellte Lebensweisheit aus inhaltlicher und sprachlicher Perspektive zu untersuchen. Arthur Schopenhauer, der bekannte deutsche Philosoph und große Denker, hat sich in seinem Leben sehr viel mit Moralistik beschäftigt. Für Schopenhauers philosophisches Werk ist Gracián anscheinend sehr wichtig gewesen. Aber um das Verhältnis zwischen Gracián und Schopenhauer zu untersuchen, speziell zwischen Graciáns Handorakel und Schopenhauers Aphorismen, gibt es bis heute nur wenige Studien.

Sensor networks have many interesting applications with great utility; however, their actually deployment and realization rely on continuous innovations and solutions to many challenging problems. Thus, sensor networks have recently attracted the attention of many researchers and practitioners. The compilation of the Handbook on Sensor Networks will meet the demand of the sensor network community for a comprehensive reference and summary of the current state of the area.The Handbook on Sensor Networks is a collection of approximately 40 chapters on sensor network theory and applications. The book spans a wide spectrum and includes topics in medium access control, routing, security and privacy, coverage and connectivity, modeling and simulations, multimedia, energy efficiency, localization and tracking, design and implementation, as well as sensor network applications.
