Reportage in the Chinese-Speaking World examines reportage as an important aesthetic form of cultural production in the Chinese-speaking world. Reportage originated as proletarian literature in interwar Europe, then spread around the world, reaching its peak in the Chinese-speaking world from the 1930s until today. Reporting goes beyond just fact-based journalism, as it is practiced across multiple art forms and media, from non-fiction writing to photography and documentary film. Multimodal representations of reportage facilitate and deepen intersecting struggles against multiple forms of social and political oppression. By engaging its audience in emotional, moral, and political dialogues with subjects (human or nonhuman), reportage fosters the audience's empathic responses to the democratic appeals of marginalized groups whose situation, identity, or circumstances embody emerging moral challenges in the society of their time. This work offers a new understanding of the dialectical relationship between investigative journalism and its readers, by evoking feelings of empathy and identification with personal reflections on place, home, and sense of belonging. The book covers a broad spectrum of media in mainland China, Taiwan, and the Chinese diaspora in the United States and Japan, and examines how multimedia cultivates distinct expressions of investigative journalism, cross-cultural empathy, and ethical and political relationships between journalist, photographer, filmmaker, and their surroundings.
