Yuen Woo Ping’s Wing Chun

Yuen Woo Ping’s Wing Chun By Sasha Vojkovic
2009 | 156 Pages | ISBN: 962209967X | PDF | 4 MB
This book explores Wing Chun’s narrative representation of femininity and the martial arts genre, its history, traditions and cultural influences. While studio-made Hong Kong genre cinema has stressed action over narrative, Wing Chun offers a more egalitarian gender imaginary rooted in Daoist and Buddhist thought. The book provides new insights on the non-linear cinematic storytelling of the film.
