This work is to initiate a semiotic re-examination ofChinese cinema. Such re-examination was built uponthe concepts of Semiotics as conceived of by CharlesSanders Peirce. In addition, in constructing asemiotic approach to aesthetic issues in general andto cinema in particular, the author incorporatedaesthetic theories from American Pragmatism andKenneth Burke’s concepts of poetic process. Informing a semiotic approach specific to cinema, theauthor relied primarily on Gilles Deleuze’s cinematictheories. This book brings a Chinese perspective into dialecticcontact with Western thought, hoping at once toenrich the scope of a general Semiotics of Cinema andto initiate a semiotic analysis of Chinese Cinema.This theorizing is to converse with scholars who areinterested in Semiotics in general and film Semioticsin particular; furthermore, it should be especiallyinformative and useful to researchers of Chinese Cinema.
