Perspective of"Onlookers"and the Construction of Visual Modernity in Dian Shizhai Pictorial
Dian Shizhai Pictorial is the most influential modern news pictorial in late Qing Dynasty.As an initial presentation of China's visual modernity,its change in visual pattern profoundly affects the modes of visual percep-tion.With the perspective of"onlookers",the pictorial establishes an image structure with a fixed visual center and enhanced the authenticity of image narration.This effectively directs viewers to organize their gaze,providing an im-mersive viewing experience and utilizing the"onlooker"as a self-reflective object to construct rational understanding of the external world and oneself.The design of the"onlookers"perspective provides a unique image narrative strate-gy for building a communication platform between the pictorial and the viewers,thus triggering the emotional reso-nance of the viewers.
