Performing China
Author: Chi-ming Yang
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 1421402165
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
The fascinating premise of this study is that the Chinese influenced English concepts of virtue in the 18th century. Through analysis of plays, fiction, and a lecture tour (by an imposter pretending to be a converted heathen), Yang (English, U. of Pennsylvania) examines the interpretation of China's history, ethic, and cultural accomplishments in English culture and thought. Impressive in the range of examples of English, European, and Chinese writing and culture, the study defines English notions of non-European peoples and culture as well as its concept of China's, making this work of interest to a broad readership.

The task of the new contributors has been to revise and integrate the lists of 1940 and 1957, to add materials of the following decade, to correct and refine the bibliographical details already available, and to re-shape the whole according to a new series of conventions devised to give greater clarity and consistency to the entries.

The Erotic Margin
Author: Irvin C. Schick
Publisher: Verso Books
ISBN: 1789601614
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 420
Book Description
Gender and sexuality have long held an important place in western attitudes towards the people and regions of the world-from the titillating accounts of harem life in the Middle East to terrifying captivity narratives of North America. The Erotic Margin is a first attempt to pull together the large, disparate, and often contradictory literature, and view it as a corpus. Schick argues that such images served to construct spatial difference, and thereby helped Europe represent its own place in the world during an age of rapid geographical expansion. Informed by the recent literature on human geography as well as feminist and postcolonial theory, The Erotic Margin focuses on erotica and sexual anthropology as well as travel literature in which, from the eighteenth century on, both traveler and destination were portrayed in unmistakably gendered and sexualized terms. Reviewing examples ranging from the New World to India, the Near East to black Africa, and the South sea islands to the Barbary Coast, the book reflects on why foreign women were variously portrayed as alluring or threatening, foreign men as effeminate weaklings or dangerous rapists, and foreign lands as sexual idylls or hearts of darkness.
