        Surrealist women artists and mental illness

        by Jenny Anger

        Female mental illness has been a prominent and complicated theme in surrealist cultural traditions, including the idealization of women with mental illness in works such as André Breton's Nadja (1928). Art historians have examined this tendency before, but to date there has been no comprehensive study of the lived reality of women surrealist artists with mental illness. How did women's experience and their work intersect with this romanticized vision? Was the masculine dream of feminized, "mad" genius prohibitive or productive for these women artists? After establishing the ideological field within which these women worked, the book turns to case studies of well-known and some lesser-known artists, including Ángeles Santos, Leonora Carrington, Dora Maar, Claude Cahun, Frida Kahlo, Meret Oppenheim, Sonja Sekula, and Unica Zürn. This collection of essays contains a wide range of responses, revealing surrealism's generative as well as restrictive force.

        Revolution in China and Russia

        Reorganizing empires into nation states

        by Luyang Zhou

        Most scholars believe that China's nationality policy, like that of other socialist states, imitated the Soviet nationality model, a system which has been termed an "affirmative action empire." This book offers two contributions to the literature which run counter to this convention. First, it argues that the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Soviet Union (USSR) were different; while the PRC was aimed to build an ideal-typical nation-state, the USSR was an open union of nation-states that was only temporarily confined to a physical territory. Second, while scholars who have noted this difference attribute it to contextual factors, such as ethnic structure, geopolitical status, and Russia's intervention into the Chinese Revolution, this book contends that context shaped the Sino-Soviet difference, yet it did not determine it. Rather, there was significant leeway between the implications of the contextual factors, and what the policy-designers ultimately established. This book probes who held agency, and how these individuals bridged this gap.

        China as context

        Anthropology, post-globalisation and the neglect of China

        by Di Wu, Andrea E. Pia, Ed Pulford

        Decades-old calls to promote the significance of China for anthropological theory and the social sciences more generally ring more urgently today given China's importance to social, political and economic life globally. Yet Chinese-grounded ideas remain marginal to the discipline, and scholarly discussions retain a sense of China as an 'Other' apart from the 'real' world, and thus unsuitable or generating widely applicable theoretical ideas. Inspired by East Asian postcolonial scholarship, this volume tackles this unsettling situation head-on, arguing that without taking China seriously as a powerful agent, a locus of knowledge production, and a new discursive topos of an emerging post-global imaginary, anthropologists and other social scientists may fail to adequately analyse the global present and make sense of both the material and immaterial forces that animate it, wherever and however they work. Amid the end of Western globalisation and shifting anthropological understandings of relations between ethnography and theory, we show how 'China' must be understood as the ordinary 'context' for anthropological research practices worldwide.

        Railway imperialism in China

        A political biography

        by Yangwen Zheng

        Railway Imperialism in China: a Political Biography is the first and most comprehensive book on history and politics of all major railways in China from the late Qing to the post-Mao era. It investigates the transformation of railways from a bête noire within discussions about reform to the emblematic "engines for empire" as foreign powers used it to carve outspheres of control and exploit the late Qing, and as an instrument of nation making for Chinese regimes. The book introduces new archival sources and a wide range of secondary materials. Boldly conceived, it situates the making of modern China in the context of British, Russian, German, Japanese, American expansion. It traces China's transformation from a victim of railway imperialism in the Age of Empireto a railway expansionist in the twenty-first century.

        Britain in China

        by Robert Bickers

        This is a study of Britain's presence in China both at its peak, and during its inter-war dissolution in the face of assertive Chinese nationalism and declining British diplomatic support. Using archival materials from China and records in Britain and the United States, the author paints a portrait of the traders, missionaries, businessmen, diplomats and settlers who constituted "Britain-in-China", challenging our understanding of British imperialism there. Bickers argues that the British presence in China was dominated by urban settlers whose primary allegiance lay not with any grand imperial design, but with their own communities and precarious livelihoods. This brought them into conflict not only with the Chinese population, but with the British imperial government. The book also analyzes the formation and maintenance of settler identities, and then investigates how the British state and its allies brought an end to the reign of freelance, settler imperialism on the China coast. At the same time, other British sectors, missionary and business, renegotiated their own relationship with their Chinese markets and the Chinese state and distanced themselves from the settler British.

        Ich fahr Pakete aus in Peking

        Ein intimer Bericht eines Niedriglohnarbeiter in China

        by Hu AnYan, Monika Li

        In den zwanzig Jahren nach seinem Highschool-Abschluss hatte Hu Anyan neunzehn verschiedene Jobs. Er arbeitete unter anderem als Verkäufer im 24h-Markt, als Fahrradmechaniker, Pakete-Kurier, Sicherheitsmann, im Logistikzentrum, der Tankstelle, der Kantinenküche. Er zog von einer chinesischen Großstadt zur nächsten, jedes Mal weiter, wenn die Arbeit unerträglich und der Boss zu bossy wurde, und richtete sich wieder in einem winzigen Zimmer ein, mit nicht mehr als seinen zerlesenen Ausgaben von Tschechow und Carver. Von der Psychologie der Hackordnung in einer gigantischen Sortierhalle für Pakete über die kafkaeske Bürokratie der Personalabteilungen bis hin zur idealen Gestaltung einer Lieferroute – mit aufrichtiger Neugier und trockenem Humor erzählt Hu Anyan unerhörte Geschichten der Menschlichkeit vor dem Hintergrund größter Schinderei. Ich fahr Pakete aus in Peking ist ein intimer Bericht über ein Leben als Niedriglohnarbeiter in den anonymen Megastädten des heutigen China. Und gibt zum ersten Mal den Blick frei auf die Massen, die von den gesellschaftlichen Realitäten, von der Art des Wirtschaftens, von der Staatsgewalt, an den Rand, in die Armut, ins Vergessen gedrängt werden.
