    This book presents a comprehensive examination of Chinese consumer behaviour and challenges the previously dichotomous interpretation of the consumption of Western and non-Western brands in China. The dominant position is that Chinese consumers are driven by a desire to imitate the lifestyles of Westerners and thereby advance their social standing locally. The alternative is that consumers reject Western brands as a symbolic gesture of loyalty to their nation-state. Drawing from survey responses and in depth interviews with Chinese consumers in both rural and urban areas, Kelly Tian and Lily Dong find that consumers situate Western brands within select historical moments. This embellishment attaches historical meanings to Western brands in ways that render them useful in asserting preferred visions of the future China. By highlighting how Western brands are used in contests for national identity, Consumer-Citizens of China challenges the notion of the "patriot’s paradox" and answers scholars’ questions as to whether Chinese nationalists today allow for a Sino-Western space where the Chinese can love China without hating the West. Consumer-Citizens of China will be of interest to students and scholars of business studies, Chinese and Asian Studies and Political Science. Kelly Tian is Professor of Marketing and holds the Anderson Chair of Business at New Mexico State University. Lily Dong is Associate Professor of Marketing at the University of Alaska at Fairbanks.

    Littérature savante, littérature orale « populaire », cinéma, peinture : l’approche de ces objets culturels peut être d’inspiration ethnologique, stylistique, philosophique, recourir aux méthodes de l’anthropologie culturelle, de l’analyse textuelle, de la sociocritique, ou de la théorie de la réception. Les textes présentés ici font état d’une diversité qui correspond autant à celle des postes d’observation susceptibles d’éclairer la matière qu’à celle des objets choisis pour donner un aperçu de la création esthétique en Inde contemporaine. Le regard des artistes eux-mêmes — écrivains, peintres —, parallèle à celui des critiques, répond à la visée générale de l’ouvrage : saisir la manière dont les modes de conscience et de connaissance s’inscrivent dans les formes esthétiques, aujourd’hui, en Inde.

    Diese Arbeit stellt einen neuartigen Ansatz vor, die symbolischen Strukturen, die der traditionellen chinesischen Tuschmalerei zugrunde liegen, zu verstehen und im interkulturellen Kontext zu vermitteln. Lichen Zhang nimmt damit eine substantielle Erweiterung von Ernst Cassirers Konzeption des menschlichen Geistes als einem universellen symbolischen Netzwerk vor und beweist stringent die Anwendbarkeit des symbolphilosophischen Konzepts auf die bildende Kunst. Das Buch stellt mit eindrucksvollen Bildbeispielen die weitreichenden Konsequenzen dieses neuen Blickwinkels anhand der traditionellen chinesischen Tuschmalerei dar. So wird der Einfluss, den chinesische Philosophien, Ethik, Religion, Gesellschaft und frühe Naturwissenschaften über die Jahrhunderte hinweg auf die Kunst hatten, durch systematische Aufarbeitung als Objektivierung einer geistigen Aktivität offenbar

    "Ono examines cross-cultural artistic exchange between the West and Japan from the late nineteenth century to the early twentieth century. Studies of Japonisme have been dominated by searching out relationships of influence between artworks - trying to identify which specific works influenced a particular artist. Ono argues that a more holistic understanding of "spillover effects" is necessary in fully comprehending the nuances of these relationships. She bases this argument on documents and works of art in the context of globalization, looking at the relationships between James McNeill Whistler and others with their contemporaries in the Japanese artistic and literary worlds. This was a more complex two-way exchange than is often appreciated, with Western artists taking inspiration from (to them) new Japanese styles, while Japanese artists and writers were trying to craft a "modern", more western-influences style to reflect the modern nation of Japan emerging onto the world stage after centuries of relative isolation. A fascinating analysis of the role of globalisation and cultural exchange in the development of new and hybrid artforms, that will be essential reading for scholars of this fascinating period in international art history"--

    In Tibetan Manuscripts and Early Printed Books, Volume I, Matthew T. Kapstein and an international team of specialists provide a comprehensive introduction to the material and aesthetic features of the wide range of Tibetan books, described in detail and illustrated with copious full-color photographs. With a documented history of over thirteen centuries, Tibetan books have long served as a medium of culture and learning throughout Central and East Asia. Major collections of Tibetan manuscripts and printed books-for Tibetan works were put into print even before the age of Gutenberg-are found in libraries and museums far from the traditional centers of Tibetan learning. Yet the history, production, and design of these works remain poorly understood.Topics covered in volume I include the manufacture of paper and ink, format and layout, scripts and scribal conventions, illumination and decoration, woodblock printing, book storage, preservation, and the use of contemporary digital technologies for the documentation of traditional works. Volume I of Tibetan Manuscripts and Early Printed Books is an essential resource for all students of Tibetan civilization, as well as for scholars, collectors, and others interested in the diverse book cultures of Asia
