Rövid leírás:
Author Paul Bowman recasts our understanding of the history of martial arts, showing how Western media representations in the 1970s not only popularized the concept but actively created 'martial arts' as a recognizable idea and cultural phenomenon.

Through popular movies starring Bruce Lee and songs like the disco hit "Kung Fu Fighting," martial arts have found a central place in the Western cultural imagination. But what would 'martial arts' be without the explosion of media texts and images that brought it to a wide audience in the late 1960s and early 1970s? In this examination of the media history of what we now call martial arts, author Paul Bowman makes the bold case that the phenomenon of martial arts is chiefly an invention of media representations. Rather than passively taking up a preexisting history of martial arts practices--some of which, of course, predated the martial arts boom in popular culture--media images and narratives actively constructed martial arts.
Grounded in a historical survey of the British media history of martial arts such as Bartitsu, jujutsu, judo, karate, tai chi, and MMA across a range of media, this book thoroughly recasts our understanding of the history of martial arts. By interweaving theories of key thinkers on historiography, such as Foucault and Hobsbawm, and Said's ideas on Orientalism with analyses of both mainstream and marginal media texts, Bowman arrives at the surprising insight that media representations created martial arts rather than the other way around. In this way, he not only deepens our understanding of martial arts but also demonstrates the productive power of media discourses.
In The Invention of Martial Arts, Bowman takes readers on an expedition in media archeology. Important and surprising in turns, this exploration explains the ways that we think, talk and fantasize about these fighting systems. This exhaustively researched and theoretically informed work is sure to become required reading for students of cultural, media and martial arts studies.
