Literature, Film, Television and Communication Research Institute

The Literature, Film, Television and Communication Research Institute (the Institute) originates from the “liberal arts” created in 1908, when Xi’an Jiaotong University was still called as Nan Yang Public School. In 1996, the school has re-established the Department of Chinese. The next year, the first batch of undergraduate students have been recruited. In 2001, the University has set the second-level discipline for master’s degree of literary art major. Since 2016, under the major of literary art, 4 concentrations have been added for the graduate program: “literary and art criticism, film and television criticism, creative writing, research on cultural industry”. In 2019, the Research Institute has been set up in the Western China Science and Technology Innovation Harbor. There are 5 research centers and 1 laboratory. Specifically, the 5 research centers include: the Research Center of Ancient Chinese Literature and Traditional Culture, the Research Center of Film and Television Culture, the Research Center of Anti-Japanese War Literature and Modern and Contemporary Culture, the Research Center of Cultural and Creative Industry, and the Research Center of Science Fiction and Science Communication. And the 1 lab refers to Speech and Film Multimedia Digital Culture Laboratory. There is a total of 30 members in the Institute, among which there are 5 professors, 16 associate professors, and 9 lecturers. They’ve shown strong capacity in doing scientificresearch guided by sound knowledge structure, with almost all sub-disciplines of the major covered. The Institute adheres to the basic principle of “regarding the West as the base, serving the country, being the world’s first class”. Under the background of “the Belt and Road Initiative”, the Institute has inherited the tradition of humanities of Xi’an Jiaotong University while exploring new changes through innovation.
