ABOUT THE EVENT:
The workshop ‘The Intermedial Body: Chinese Arts and Beyond’ is a 
development of the cross-institutional project ‘(Re)connecting Research 
in China’, involving the University of Reading (the organiser of this 
event), the University of Exeter (the PI on the project), King’s College 
and the University of Manchester, and is funded by the British Council, 
within the remit of the UK-China Humanities Alliance.
The workshop will focus on the corporeal aspects of intermediality in 
Chinese arts and beyond, and considers how combining different media and 
their traces affects the human body. The body is a unique site for 
investigations of the intermedial because of its dual role of being the 
producer and subject of art. This event brings together researchers and 
artists to consider the presence of an ‘intermedial body’ and its 
ability to personify the different ways and reasons artists combine 
media in their pursuit of creative and transcultural expression.
The workshop will open, on 10th May, with an evening homage to Chinese 
Nobel prize winning author Gao Xingjian and a rare screening of his film 
/Silhouette/Shadow, /introduced by his celebrated translator, Mabel Lee. 
Gao’s transmedial profile cuts across literature, theatre, painting, 
photography and film. The workshop will proceed on 11th May with a full 
day of talks by UK and China academics.
