This book examines three overarching themes: Chinese modernity's
(sometimes ambivalent) relationship to tradition at the start of
the twentieth century, the processes of economic reform started in
the 1980s and their importance to both the eradication and rescue
of traditional practices, and the ideological issue of
cosmopolitanism and how it frames the older academic generation's
attitudes to globalisation. It is important to grasp the importance
of these points as they have been an important part of the
discourse surrounding contemporary Chinese visual culture. As
readers progress through this book, it will become clear that the
debates surrounding visual culture are not purely based on
aesthetics--an understanding of the ideological issues surrounding
the appearance of things as well as an understanding of the social
circumstances that result in the making of traditional artifacts
are as important as the way a traditional object may look.
Contemporary Chinese Visual Culture is an important book for all
collections dealing with Asian studies, art, popular culture, and
interdisciplinary studies.
