In his lecture, Prof. Pickowicz will screen compelling clips from Chinese silent-era films of the 1920s and 1930s. He’ll emphasize the diverse roles played by women and ask questions about why the women seen on screen, including such iconic figures as Ruan Lingyu, Li Lili, and Wang Renmei, were far more important than men to the success of Chinese silent cinema.

In a discussion for graduate students, Professor Pickowicz asks the questions, “What can be learned from oral histories that cannot be learned from other sources? What is unique about oral histories?” Pickowicz will show clips of several oral histories he filmed in China in the 1980s and 1990s and talk about both the pleasure and pain associated with the filming of oral histories.
