Inhalt: Republican Shanghai was known as the "Hollywood East", and even the rich Japanese would fly to Shanghai and spend weekends there just to watch the premiere of Hollywood movies at Shanghai Grand Theater. On August 11, 1896, the first showing (Lumière films) was held in Shanghai’s XuYuan Garden. From this point on, the Chinese audiences were like the spectators in “Plato’s Cave”, viewing and imagining China and the West through the projected moving images. We can see that a kind of tension between East and West, tradition and modernity, cosmopolitanism and localism has always existed in Shanghai cinema and extends to the present day. If the alias “Hollywood East” situated Shanghai under the influence of Hollywood, then the urban culture where promise and tragedy coexist in it, was more like the cultural context of shorted-lived Weimar Germany. In the shadow of the failed wars and the economic crisis, the tiller girls in cabarets danced as neatly as soldiers, and not far away there was a gunshot. Psychoanalysis played over the radio hypnotized the “Flâneur”. New women flood the workplace, seeking to improve their family and social status. Moviegoers from different social classes were enthralled by the same movie at different times and places. Female stars suicided because of newspaper scandals… In this seminar, we will explore the Shanghai urban culture through cinema, or further, explore the world through Shanghai cinema.
