Abstract

This paper explores the interplay of Chinese cinema and Hollywood over the post-feminist discourse: entering the 21st century, the representation of post-feminism has received gradual development in Chinese media, including films. At the same time, Hollywood films, which have been stably imported for almost a century in China, also have been shaping the Chinese film market with its western messages and patterns. As a growing media of western influence, Hollywood import might have affected the development of post-feminism in China. However, most works have not yet delineated this possible correlation. This paper manages to do so by studying film history and feminism movements in a localized context and interdisciplinary approach. By reviewing 20 major works in the academic literature, this paper argues that Hollywood import, as a major form of media representation of western feminism, might have contributed to the growth of post-feminism in China. Specifically, this paper finds three associations that Hollywood import has over the growth of Chinese post-feminism: content and expression, industrial mode, and power relationship behind consumption.
