TL;DR: In this article, the impact of photographs produced during campaigns of exploration in Northwest China during the transition period between the last decades of the nineteenth century and the early twentieth century is examined.
Abstract: This article addresses the impact of photographs produced during campaigns of exploration in Northwest China during the transition period between the last decades of the nineteenth century and the early twentieth century. I propose to focus on an area that had experienced intense scrutiny, namely the oasis of Dunhuang. By scrutinizing the extensive photographic archive created during the French Mission Paul Pelliot (1906–08), this paper underlines the emergence of preservation and archaeological concerns, and the growing place of photography in academic disciplines like archaeology, while highlighting how these images interacted with local and international cultures. Addressing these questions is intended to help delineate the photographs’ visual grammar and to gauge their effect in (re)constituting China’s national heritage.

TL;DR: We Love Peace as discussed by the authors, a poster that became exceedingly popular among Chinese People's Volunteer Force soldiers and essentially the iconic image for the Korean War, was based on a photograph initially published in the People's Daily, and it continued to circulate in various formats, including a pirated version of black-and-white photographs.
Abstract: This paper examines We Love Peace, a poster that became exceedingly popular among Chinese People’s Volunteer Force soldiers and essentially the iconic image for the Korean War. The poster was based on a photograph initially published in the People’s Daily, and it continued to circulate in various formats, including a pirated version of black-and-white photographs. Focusing on the production and reception of the image, this paper contextualizes the propaganda of the Korean War in the early PRC visual culture. By bringing attention to the active engagement of We Love Peace by the CPVF soldiers, this study attempts to approach the soldiers’ affective responses as a window to the complicated relationship between the control of the state and the agency of its subjects.
