Publisher Synopsis
'In these essays the reader will encounter some of the most sophisticated contemporary scholarship on Chinese art - unafraid to grapple with big issues ... Taken together, the essays have an ambitious reach. They don't in any sense form "a coherent whole", since most of the authors are explicitly suspicious of such attempts to wrap everything up neatly ... the material in the book, and the force with which its arguments are put, are hard to ignore. They demand serious engagement from all who are interested in going beyond the simple labeling of cultural phenomena, to understanding how those labels are generated, and who has the power to make them stick.' - Orientations Read more...
