Mythification of national discourses in Poster Design: rethinking expressions of Chineseness in the globalized world

Mythification of national discourses in Poster Design: rethinking expressions of Chineseness in the globalized world

WONG, Wendy Siuyi

Full Article:

This paper takes the position of post-colonial and cultural studies theories, with particular focus on Rey Chow’s (1998) discussion of Chineseness. The author borrows Chow’s critiques, along with other works on the studies of Chineseness, as a framework to interpret the different identities projected in posters by designers from China, Hong Kong and Taiwan awarded in Hong Kong International Poster Triennial, from 2001 to 2010.
