AlbakiReads Editorial A Transregional History of Chinese Animation
A Transregional History of Chinese Animation
Edited by Daisy Yan Du, this fifteen-chapter collection maps Chinese animation across a century of changing media, technologies, and cultural contexts. It brings early special effects, socialist-era works, CGI features, independent film, stop-motion, and virtual reality into the same scholarly frame, while extending its geography beyond mainland China to Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, and diasporic communities. Organized around junctures, gender, identities, digitality, and practices, the volume positions animation as a meeting point for film, literature, media history, and transmedia study. Its emphasis on multiple forms and locations makes clear that “Chinese animation” encompasses varied traditions rather than a single national or industrial story.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Students and scholars of animation, film, and media studies
- Readers interested in Chinese-language visual culture across mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, and diasporic contexts
- Animators and animation fans seeking academic perspectives on the field

Chinese Animation: Multiplicities in Motion is the first edited volume that explores the multiple histories, geographies, industries, technologies, media, and transmedialities of Chinese animation, from early animated special effects to socialist classics, from computer-generated-imagery (CGI) blockbusters to edgy independent films, and from stop-motion to virtual reality.
Its fifteen chapters, grouped under the five themes of junctures, gender, identities, digitality, and practices, span a century of animation since the 1920s across mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, and the diasporic world. Derived from the 2021 Inaugural Conference of the Association for Chinese Animation Studies (ACAS), this volume as a whole defines Chinese animation studies as a new field of research emerging from the peripheries of modern Chinese literature and film studies on the one hand, and from the margins of Western and Japanese animation studies on the other. Incorporating diverse academic approaches and perspectives, this groundbreaking book is an indispensable guide for a rapidly growing community of scholars, students, animators, fans, and general readers interested in Chinese and world animation.
