Contemporary Art Cinema Culture in China
How do contemporary Chinese audiences access art cinema?What are the alternative channels for the distribution and exhibition of art cinema in China?How is Chinese art cinema changing with the booming of internet media and commodity culture in the 21st century? To answer these questions, Xiang Fan explores the dynamic networks of art cinema in China in the 21st century, highlighting the cultural practices of intermediaries such as independent programmers, internet critics, and fan translators.Offering insights gleaned from original ethnographic research, Fan reveals how these intermediary practitioners think about cinema, negotiate judgement and appreciation, construct a discourse of value and taste, and most importantly, constitute a coordinated and interrelated network for the sharing of art cinema.She argues that although their motivation was derived from a cinephilia seeking to forge an alternative mode of distribution and reception, the ‘new’ cinema culture they have produced simultaneously negotiates a subtly complicit relationship with authoritative and market forces.In doing so, she offers an original interdisciplinary perspective on contemporary art cinema culture in Chinese society.

The Vacuum Cleaner : A History
House cleaning has been an innate human activity for centuries, but only since the early 19th century have mechanical devices replaced the physical hard labor (performed mostly by women).Mechanical carpet sweepers were replaced by manual suction cleaners, which in turn were replaced by electric vacuum cleaners in the early 20th century.Innovative inventors, who sequentially improved vacuum cleaners as electricity became commonly available, made these advances possible.Many early manufacturers failed, but some, such as Bissell, Hoover, Eureka, and others, became household words, as they competed for global dominance with improved features, performance, and appearance.This book describes the fascinating people who made this possible, as well as the economic, cultural, and technological contexts of their times.From obscure beginnings 200 years ago, vacuum cleaners have become an integral part of modern household culture.

What is better: cordless vacuum or corded vacuum?
The choice between a cordless and corded vacuum depends on your specific needs and preferences. Cordless vacuums offer greater convenience and flexibility as they can be easily maneuvered around the house without being restricted by a cord. However, they typically have a shorter battery life and may not be as powerful as corded vacuums. On the other hand, corded vacuums provide consistent and powerful suction, making them more suitable for deep cleaning. Ultimately, the decision between the two depends on your cleaning habits, the size of your home, and your preference for convenience versus power.

Can you vacuum without using the vacuum cleaner filter?
It is not recommended to vacuum without using the vacuum cleaner filter. The filter is an essential component that traps dust, dirt, and other particles to prevent them from being released back into the air. Without the filter, these particles can be circulated back into the air, potentially causing respiratory issues and reducing indoor air quality. Additionally, operating the vacuum without a filter can also lead to damage to the vacuum cleaner itself. Therefore, it is important to always use the filter when vacuuming.

Can vacuum float?
No, a vacuum cannot float because it is not a physical object that can be affected by gravity. A vacuum is simply a space devoid of matter, so it does not have the properties necessary to float or sink. Objects within a vacuum can float if they are less dense than the surrounding air or gas, but the vacuum itself cannot float.
