About this event
Please note: this event has been postponed to 13 December, 12:00pm.
This presentation, citing Pierre Bourdieu's field theory, is devoted to defining the nature and changes in the field of film dubbing in China after economic reform.
It seeks to examine how the field of film dubbing in China has been shaped and transformed in relation to other fields such as the market, government, and distributors. Additionally, it explores how four state-owned film dubbing studios, acting as collective agents, utilise their capitals to respond to new challenges with different strategies.
