Chinese animation
There is little discussion of Chinese animation in English. Daisy Yan Du's PhD dissertation, "On the Move: The Trans/national Animated Film in 1940s-1970s China" (University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2012), is by far the most systematic analysis of early Chinese animation before 1980. Weihua Wu’s PhD dissertation, "Animation in Postsocialist China: Visual Narrative, Modernity, and Digital Culture" (City University of Hong Kong, 2006), discusses contemporary Chinese animation in the digital age after 1980. Besides the two major works, there are other articles and book chapters written by John Lent, Paola Voci, Mary Farquhar, and others about Chinese animation. The first English-language monograph devoted to Chinese Animation was Rolf Giesen's Chinese Animation: A History and Filmography, 1922-2012 (McFarland &amp; Company, Jefferson NC, 2015).
