This study focuses on the much neglected fact that China's Xinhai Revolution of 1911, which ushered in the modern Chinese nation-state by overthrowing the dynastic monarchy of Qing (1644-1911), was a racial revolution driven by a modern, self-appellate racial imaginary known as the Han race. This racial imaginary has impacted popular culture, notably movies in the creation of Han-centric works as well as the formation of a Han spectatorship from late Qing period to the present moment.

520 $a This study focuses on the much neglected fact that China's Xinhai Revolution of 1911, which ushered in the modern Chinese nation-state by overthrowing the dynastic monarchy of Qing (1644-1911), was a racial revolution driven by a modern, self-appellate racial imaginary known as the Han race. This racial imaginary has impacted popular culture, notably movies in the creation of Han-centric works as well as the formation of a Han spectatorship from late Qing period to the present moment.
520 $a China's Han-centric understanding of itself results in its monolithic and repressive self-representation of what actually is a multi-ethnic nation-state, with borderland regions in Inner Mongolia, Turkic Xinjiang and Tibet annexed by the ruling Siberian Manchu people of Qing. Yet the nationalist skin of this north-centric "Han" polity inevitably encounters problems covering not only the distinctly different bodies of the defintely non-Han Mongols, Uighurs, and Tibetans, but also the southerners, such as those in Guangdong and Hong Kong, who often do not consider themselves "Han." This study therefore coins the term "Han-normativity" to analyze the functioning of this apparatus in governing China's visual and popular culture throughout Chinese (post)modernity.
520 $a A genealogical examination of Han-normativity is offered in Chapter Two, which focuses on the representation of the Manchus in key films and TV serial produced between 1948 and 2003 -- they all de-emphasize the ethnic/racial conflicts at the origin of Chinese modernity. Han-normativity's repressiveness of differences finds its fullest -- authoritarian -- expression in, as argued in Chapter Four, Zhang Yimou's kungfu/wuxia blockbuster Hero (2004). Yet, all exercises of power meet their resistance. Chapter three delineates Hong Kong cinema as the "postmodern" renegade banished from the Han, modernist-legislative-normative heartland; this important geo-cinema eventually displays a critical meta-narrative that challenges the conception of the Han-centric Chinese nationhood. Chapter five turns to another critical geo-cinema -- Tibetan films produced outside and inside China. Direct contrasts are drawn between PRC and Tibetan cinemas to illustrate Foucault's adage: "The history of some is not the history of others." The concluding chapter discusses China's governmentality offensive of mobilization of patriotism anchored in the Han imaginary to diffuse its enormous legitimacy crisis today.
