Rojas focuses on visuality and gender tropes to reflect on shifting understandings of the significance of Chineseness, modernity, and Chinese modernity. Through detailed readings of narrative works, the study identifies three distinct constellations of visual concerns corresponding to the late imperial, mid-20th century, and contemporary periods.
