Theory and Practice of Zen Buddhism
A Festschrift in Honor of Steven Heine
AvCharles S. Prebish,On-cho Ng
Inbunden, Engelska, 2022
1 653 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book brings together an impressive group of scholars to critically engage with a wide-ranging and broad perspective on the historical and contemporary phenomenon of Zen. The structure of the work is organized to reflect the root and branches of Zen, with the root referring to important episodes in Chan/Zen history within the Asian context, and the branches referring to more recent development in the West. In collating what has transpired in the last several decades of Chan/Zen scholarship, the collection recognizes and honors the scholarly accomplishments and influences of Steven Heine, arguably the most important Zen scholar in the past three decades. As it looks back at the intellectual horizons that this towering figure in Zen/Chan studies has pioneered and developed, it seeks to build on the grounds that were broken and subsequently established by Heine, thereby engendering new works within this enormously important religio-cultural scholarly tradition. This curated Festschrift is a tribute, both retrospective and prospective, acknowledging the foundational work that Heine has forged, and generates research that is both complementary and highly original. This academic ritual of assembling a liber amicorum is based on the presumption that sterling scholarship should be honored by conscientious scholarship. In the festive spirit of a Festschrift, this anthology consists of the resounding voices of Heine and his colleagues. It is an indispensable collection for students and scholars interested in Japanese religion and Chinese culture, and for those researching Zen Buddhist history and philosophy.

Cross-Cultural Encounters in Modern and Premodern China
Global Networks, Mediation, and Intertextuality
AvKelly Kar Yue Chan,Chi Sum Garfield Lau

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book presents an essential contribution to approaches in the studies of film, literature, performance, translation, and other art forms within the Chinese cultural tradition, examining East-West cultural exchange and providing related intertextual dialogue. The assessment of cultural exchange in the East-West context involves the original source, the adapted text, and other enigmatic extras incurred during the process. It aims to evaluate the linkage among, but not limited to, literature, film, music, art, and performance. The sections unpack how canonical texts can be read anew in modern society; how ideas can be circulated around the world based on translation, adaptation, and reinvention; and how the global networks of circulation can facilitate cultural interaction and intervention. The authors engage discussions on longstanding debates and controversies relating to Chinese literature as world literature; reconciliations of cultural identity under the contemporary waves ofglobalization and glocalization; Chinese-Western film adaptations and their impact upon cinematic experiences; an understanding of gendered roles and voices under the social gaze; and the translation of texts from intertextual angles. An enriching intellectual, intertextual resource for researchers and students enthusiastic about the adaptation and transformation process of different genres, this book is a must-have for Sinophiles. It will appeal to world historians interested in the global networks of connectivity, scholars researching cultural life in East Asia, and China specialists interested in cultural studies, translation, and film, media and literary studies.

Conjugal Relationships in Chinese Culture
Sino-Western Discourses and Aesthetics on Marriage
AvChi Sum Garfield Lau,Kelly Kar Yue Chan
Inbunden, Engelska, 2023
1 690 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book reviews the presentation of conjugal relationships in Chinese culture and their perception in the West. It explores the ways in which the act of marriage is represented/misrepresented in different literary genres, as well as in cultural adaptations. It looks at the gendered characteristics at play that affect conjugal relationships in Chinese societal practices more widely. It also distinguishes between the essential features that give rise to nuptial arrangements from the Chinese perspective, looking at what in which Sino and/or Western mentalities differ in terms of notions of autonomy in marriage. It excavates the extent to which marriage is constituted in forms of transaction between female and male bodies and asks under what circumstances wedding ceremonies constitute archetypal or counter-archetypal notions in pre-modern and modern society. Authors cover a range of fascinating cultural topics, such as posthumous marriage (necrogamy) as an ancient and popular folk culture from the perspective of Confucian ideology, as well as looking at marriage from ancient to present times, duty and rights in conjugal relations, inter-racial and inter-cultural marriage, widowhood in Confucian ideology, issues of legitimacy in marriage and concubinage, the taboos surrounding divorce and re-marriage, and conjugal violence. The book serves to revisit the cultural connections between marriage and various art forms, including literature, film, theatre, and other adaptations. It is a rich intellectual resource for scholars and students researching the historical roots, cultural interpretations, and evolving aspects of marriage as shown in literature, art, and culture.

Politics and Comedy in Contemporary China
Media, Humour and Social Satire
AvShenshen Cai,Jonathan Benney
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026
1 382 kr
Skickas inom 11-20 vardagar
This book explains the uses of laughter in contemporary China, and demonstrates how humour in China is put to many uses. Through the use of examples from different mediums such as film, sketch comedy, stand-up and sitcoms, this book demonstrates that Chinese comedy is not just about telling jokes or presenting funny scenarios—humour is also used to criticise social trends, to mock people in authority and to allow the public to reflect on China’s dramatic economic and cultural changes. The authors bring comedy figures who are well-known in China, such as Zhao Benshan, Feng Xiaogang, and Guo Degang, to the attention of international readers, using translation and explanations to explain why Chinese people find their work both amusing and meaningful. They explore uniquely Chinese forms of comedy, like xiangsheng dialogues, and consider how international genres like stand-up and situation comedy are localised in China. They demonstrate how comedy can be used to sidestep censorship and satirise the humourless restrictiveness of the Chinese government. This book appeals readers who are interested in how humour is used as a form of political communication, how humour can cross national borders, and those interested in contemporary Chinese media and politics.

AvGeir Sigurðsson,Tze-ki Hon
Inbunden, Engelska, 2025

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book questions whether the ancient, iconic Chinese book of divination, The Classic of Changes (Yijing) might help us navigate the precarious, complex, and seemingly unpredictable intricacies of present contemporary times. The essays contained in this book respond affirmatively to this question in seeking to show how The Classic of Changes can help us think through the particularly human challenge of establishing meaning and making choices between alternatives. The author’s book explores and discusses novel and often surprising ways for contemporary readers to interpret and apply this ancient Chinese classic, touching upon fields such as narration, technology, ecology, psychology, aesthetics, ontology, cognition, semiotics, and gender issues. This book is of appeal to both students and informed readers with an interest in the mysteries of The Classic of Changes, and to researchers in areas of Chinese philosophy, Chinese history, religious studies, and East Asian approaches to health and well-being.

Four Exemplars of Ru 儒 (Confucianism)
Beyond Comparative Philosophy
AvPaul J. D'Ambrosio,Geir Sigurðssonm. fl.
Inbunden, Engelska, 2025
1 543 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This book discusses scholars who have all engaged in comparative philosophy projects, many of whom first rose to fame because of their penetrating insights into the similarities and differences in “Western” and “Chinese” thought. They all went beyond simply looking at how one thinker, one school, or one tradition relates to another: each draws on sources from China and the West. However, their projects—from role ethics to concrete metaphysics, from critiquing individualism to balancing harmony and justice—are attempts at re-evaluating the way we view the world and live our lives. These projects are systematic, thorough tong 通, and comprehensive descriptions of ourselves, the world, and our interactions with others. They are all comparative, but, on top of this, they also aim at making a point that transcends their comparisons. The book thus shows that these great thinkers draw on a multiplicity of resources, and while they might find some ideas closer to home than others, comparison is a necessary constant. Using traditional Confucian vocabulary, this type of philosophizing is described as practicing xue 学, normally understood as “studying” or “learning.” But, it also means to copy, imitate, model, or emulate. In the process of xue, one imitates, but with a nod to differences. This book honors four models of such an attitude to xue. In its examination of some of the most influential scholars in Chinese thought, this is a seminal book for scholars and students in Chinese and comparative philosophy.

History of Aging in Qing China
Self-Representations in Personal Narratives of the Elderly
AvClara Wing-chung Ho
Inbunden, Engelska, 2025
1 589 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book examines the history of aging and old age during the Qing dynasty, a pivotal period marked by rapid population growth that resulted in the largest elderly population in imperial China. Drawing on previously overlooked first-person accounts from the extensive collections authored by Qing men and women, it offers an overview of the self-curated collective aging journeys of several hundreds of elders. By centering the voices of individuals reflecting on their aging experiences, this book delves into the personal narratives from both genders, rediscovering their aging journeys, revealing their subjectively constructed emotional landscapes, and giving a voice to the elderly individuals of the past. The chapters closely analyze how the elderly in Qing China articulated their aging process, channeling their joys, challenges, and frustrations in later life. History is not the monopoly of a single gender, class, race, or age group; without representations of the elderly, history remains incomplete. This book seeks to restore the elderly to the historical narrative and invites further discussion on Chinese historical gerontology as an emerging subfield. In addition to appealing to general readers interested in contemporary demographic issues from a historical perspective, this book will engage students and researchers of history, historical gerontology, aging studies, gender studies, cultural studies, sociology, psychology, and Asian studies.

Global Yijing
Intercultural Encounters with World Religions and Thoughts
AvJohn Tsz-pang Lai
Inbunden, Engelska, 2025
1 543 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book is an examination of the globalization of the Yijing from cross-cultural and comparative perspectives, with a special focus on the Yijing encounters with world religions and thoughts over the past centuries. It presents an ambitious effort to bring together leading Yijing—The Book of Changes—scholars in the world. Composed of three parts and twelve chapters, it begins with a conceptualized narrative of the globalization of the Yijing, highlighting the intercultural encounters and transformation of the Yijing in different religious, philosophical, and cultural traditions across the globe. Part One investigates the interaction of the Yijing in Asian religions and philosophy including the Confucian and Buddhist traditions, as well as Maoism in Japan. Part Two explores how the Yijing was creatively and provocatively interpreted by Jesuit and Protestant missionaries, Chinese Christian intellectuals, and Chinese Islamic scholars from the Qing period to 20th century China. Part Three examines the multifaceted issues associated with the reception and transformation of the Yijing in Western thoughts, like French occultism, Carl Jung’s analytical psychology and John Cage’s experimental music theory and practice. This book is an essential reading for those who are interested in the Yijing and also serves as a useful reference for students and scholars of Chinese culture, Asian philosophy, East Asian studies, and translation studies.

Subjectivity and Sexuality in Contemporary Chinese Feminist Writing
Representations of Transgressive Women
AvRuttapond Swanpitak
Inbunden, Engelska, 2025
1 330 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book explores representations of female sexuality and subjectivity in contemporary Chinese fiction by three women writers, published from 1986 to 2000, from the perspective of poststructuralist feminism. It discusses the representative works of authors, Wang Anyi, Tie Ning and Chi Li, who are well known in the Chinese literary field. However, their works have not, to date, been analysed through the poststructuralist feminism’s notions of subjectivity, femininity and transgression. This book, then, provides detailed analysis of each writer and draws comparisons between their works to provide an extended consideration of female sexuality and subjectivity within post-Mao Chinese fiction. In this respect, this book not only offers fresh insights into the three authors’ fiction but also contributes to the feminist study of Chinese women’s writing. Additionally, the research contributes to a better understanding of contemporary Chinese culture in relation to patriarchy, misogyny, feminism, differences and resistance. It is relevant to scholars in the fields of China studies, Chinese literature, feminist literature and gender studies.

Maoism with Italian Characteristics
China's Global Influence and the Italian Left, 1956-1976
AvMarco Gabbas,Lorenzo M. Capisani
Inbunden, Engelska, 2025
1 476 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book is, primarily, a historical study that investigates why Mao’s thought took root in Italy, how it developed, and its emergence in opposition to the Italian Communist Party, with a focus on the years 1956–1976. The book also prompts reflection on how dissent has been perceived in Leftist parties more broadly, and how ‘sub-cultures’ can become prominent. The authors delve into the relations between Mao’s China and the Italian institutional Left, mindful of the fact that not all the involved parties represented monolithic clusters of consent. The book confronts a watershed of reforms or revolution, in which the Italian Communist Party embraced a non-revolutionary and parliamentary policy, and where Italian radicals took Mao’s slogans literally to argue that a revolution in Italy was not only possible, but necessary. Tracking the subsequent abandonment of Maoism in modern left-wing parties in Italy, which gradually became more distant from the working class, the authors juxtapose this to modern China, which opened up with Deng Xiaoping’s reforms and Xi Jinping’s search for rejuvenation. In presenting Italian Maoism—a largely forgotten topic and fascinating example of Western Maoism—to an English-reading audience, the authors contextualize these local historical events in a global modern perspective, linking them to the Cold War and horizontal issues, such as dissent, in a rich comparison of Italian and Chinese sources from party archives and collections. It is relevant to historians interested in the circulation of Chinese political ideas in the West, and China’s historical trajectory from the Cold War to the present.
