二十世纪前半叶，中国摄影渐成自家面目。本书围绕郎静山、骆伯年、刘旭沧等人的美术摄影，徐肖冰、高帆、雷烨等人的战地摄影，陈嘉震的人像摄影，黄笃初“江南摄影”及鲁迅“为人生”的摄影批判，从地域角度考量浙籍摄影家、批评家对中国摄影发展的独特贡献。

本书在文化研究的视域内，遵循表征的诗学（符号学理论）与政治学（话语理论）两种研究路径，借用了彼得·汉密尔顿所使用的“支配性摄影范式”的概念，旨在梳理平民影像与平民意识在1978-2016年间国内纪实摄影中的流变历程，并尝试回答平民影像的流变与转型时期社会进程的互动关系，探讨不同历史时期的视觉建制如何影响规约摄影家的表征实践。

本书以摄影术传入中国后，如何从“脱影留真”的奇巧技艺发展成为一门独立的艺术门类为核心问题展幵分析：一方面，重新勘定了本土摄影艺术发展的起点，补充了被现有摄影史研究所遗漏的本土现代主义摄影，以及纠正了现有研究中对“画意摄影”概念所存在的误识；另一方面，采用史论结合的方法厘清了中国摄影艺术进行自我确证的理论脉络，即“三个阶段”“两次自觉”，并提炼和总结了“三个阶段”中的摄影媒介美学和审美范式，初步建立起了早期中国摄影艺术理论体系的基本框架；再则，本书运用文化研究的方法，将摄影研究与十年繁荣期的社会思潮、文化消费以及政治意识形态相关联，扩展了我国摄影艺术研究的学术视野。

内容摘要：社会、经济与科技文化的发展，使传统的视觉识别设计呈现出“多元化”“广领域”“新形态”的发展趋势，把握视觉识别设计发展的新趋势，通过设计的“新态”作为我们创新设计的“推手”，构建现代设计与经济发展、社会人文、科学技术融合相长的可持续发展之路。

My first trip to the Antarctic was in 1997.Shortly after，I went trekking in the Nepal Himalayas and chatted with my Nepal guide who had never stepped out of his landlocked Kingdom.He curiously asked me what the Antarctic was like.I said： “Imagine all the snow-capped mountains and glaciers in the Himalayas by the bay； mammals that look like fish the size many times bigger than an elephant； all the birds are black and white and they fly only in the water； contains 70% of the world’s fresh water but is the driest continent in the world…”

Is this place really on earth？ Indeed，not only is the Antarctic surreal for this Nepal Mountain folk，it is unbelievable for most of us.

Many visited the Antarctic just because it is the last continent for them to tick off the list.But to truly appreciate its grandeur，uniqueness and magic，one has to understand its geology and exploratory history.In fact，that goes for visiting any place on earth.Many thought capturing the best pictures of a place is to have the best camera equipment and photography skills.To me，it is about understanding the place’s uniqueness and capture them in a journalistic frame.

That’s why I appreciated Mdm Zhu Xiang Xia’s pictures so much.And that’s also why I always found great pleasure in hearing about her travel tales.Mdm Zhu and her husband Mr.Zhang Duo Yi travelled widely all over the world.And wherever they go，they travelled slowly to have time to have in-depth understanding of the destination，peeling layers after layers of local geography and culture in their own way.They do not go only for the “wow must see” but also appreciate the tiny details that complete the pictures of the places they are in.

Many Antarctic pictures show the most spectacular mountains and glaciers，the most beautiful sunset or sunrise，but Mdm Zhu’s photo log tells the story of her whole journey.To me this should be the true spirit of any travel.

May I wish Mdm Zhu and Mr.Zhang continue to globetrot and share with everyone their worlds through their own lenses.
