This book presents a collection of archaeological and
anthropological writings by Li Chi, the founding father of modern
archaeology in China. It is divided into two parts, the first of
which traces back the rise of Chinese civilization, as well as the
origins of the Chinese people; in turn, the second part reviews the
rise of archaeology in China as a scientific subject that combines
fieldwork methods from the West with traditional antiquarian
studies. Readers who are interested in Chinese civilization will
find fascinating information on the excavations of Yin Hsu (the
ruins of the Yin Dynasty), including building foundations, bronzes,
chariots, pottery, stone and jade, and thousands of oracle bones,
which are vividly shown in historical pictures. These findings
transformed the Yin Shang culture from legend into history and thus
moved China's history forward by hundreds of years, shocking the
world. In turn, the articles on anthropology include Li Chi's
reflections on central problems in Chinese anthropology and are
both enlightening and thought-provoking.
This book presents an anthology of English-language archaeological
and anthropological writings by Li Chi, the founding father of
modern archaeology in China. It is divided into 15 chapters; in the
first two, Dr. Li sets the stage by introducing the principal
characters involved in the first "act" of this modern
archaeological drama; in the third and fourth chapters, he
describes the status of Chinese archaeology during the early years
of the twentieth century and highlights the contributions of
prominent foreigners. Starting with the fifth chapter, Dr. Li
begins detailing the excavations and describes the principle finds
of the Anyang expedition. In turn, the book's closing chapters
present a summary of the findings and descriptions of some of the
major publications that this monumental project has yielded. For
readers who are interested in Chinese civilization, what will
appeal to them most are the details of the excavations of Yin Hsu
(the ruins of the Yin Dynasty), including building foundations,
bronzes, chariots, pottery, stone and jade, and thousands of oracle
bones, which are vividly shown in historical pictures. These
findings transformed the Yin Shang culture from legend into history
and thus moved China's history forward by hundreds of years,

Poems from a boisterously out and open queer voice from Taiwan.
 Ko-hua Chen’s Decapitated Poetry was the first explicitly
queer book of poems published in Taiwan and remains a foundational
work in Taiwanese poetry. Decades after it first appeared in 1995,
this collection retains the capacity to shock, appall, and jolt
readers into recognizing homosexuality as its own specific category
of being. Behind Chen’s depictions of the disjunctive realities
of queer erotic life, a formidable and uncompromising poetic
intelligence can be seen at play. Alongside the erotic, satirical
offerings from Decapitated Poetry, this volume includes selections
from Chen’s remarkable sci-fi sequences that offer further
transcorporeal meditations on forbidden queer love. Excoriating,
heretical, tender, and always alive to the transgressive potential
of language, this exhilarating volume from Seagull’s Pride List
is the perfect introduction to one of Taiwanese poetry’s most
daring voices. Â
Owing to Taiwan's multi-ethnic nature and palimpsestic colonial
past, Taiwanese literature is naturally multilingual. Although it
can be analyzed through frameworks of Japanophone literature and
Chinese literature, and the more provocative Sinophone literature,
only through viewing Taiwanese literature as world literature can
we redress the limits of national identity and fully examine
writers' transculturation practice, globally minded vision, and the
politics of its circulation. Throughout the colonial era, Taiwanese
writers gained inspiration from global literary trends mainly but
not exclusively through the medium of Japanese and Chinese.
Modernism was the mainstream literary style in 1960s Taiwan, and
since the 1980s Taiwanese literature has demonstrated a unique
trajectory shaped jointly by postmodernism and postcolonialism.
These movements exhibit Taiwanese writers' creative adaptations of
world literary thought as a response to their local and
trans-national reality. During the postwar years Taiwanese
literature began to be more systematically introduced to world
readers through translation. Over the past few decades, Taiwanese
authors and their translated works have participated in global
conversations, such as those on climate change, the "post-truth"
era, and ethnic and gender equality. Bringing together scholars and
translators from Europe, North America, and East Asia, the volume
focuses on three interrelated themes - the framing and worlding
ploys of Taiwanese literature, Taiwanese writers' experience of
transculturation, and politics behind translating Taiwanese
literature. The volume stimulates new ways of conceptualizing
Taiwanese literature, demonstrates remarkable cases of Taiwanese
authors' co-option of world trends in their Taiwan-concerned
writing, and explores its readership and dissemination.
