The symposium will take placeat the Avenue Campus, the University of 
Southampton, on *4 May 2019*. This symposium will coincide with the 
100^th anniversary of the May Fourth Movement that was instrumental in 
changing the trajectory of the development of Chinese culture in the 
past century. Itwill explore how the spaces, identity, language, people 
and traditions of various Chinese-speaking communities have been 
visualised and represented in a variety of visual media. From cinema and 
video games to television and other art forms, this symposium will offer 
an excellent platform to promote comprehensive and interdisciplinary 
insight not only into the Chinese visual culture itself, but also the 
eclectic range of innovative research methods and critical approaches 
employed to study and analyse such culture, along with their development 
and integration with the world amidst globalisation and current 
affairs/international relations.
