Wang Chong
Balance des discours: Traités Philosophiques
15mo, br. ed. pp.864. edition bilingue chinois français. La Balance des discours (Lunheng) est l'une des grandes sommes philosophiques de la Chine ancienne. Elle consiste en un recueil de 85 traités rédigés par le lettré Wang Chong (27-97 ? ), l'un des principaux penseurs de la dynastie Han (206 av. J.-C.220 apr. J.-C.). Le but avoué de Wang Chong est la "lutte contre l'erreur" : dans ses traités, il s'en prend à toutes sortes de conceptions qui ont cours de son temps, que ce soit les idées de penseurs anciens, l'idéologie officielle de l'Empire ou des croyances plus largement partagées. Dans sa critique, il mobilise, outre son bon sens et ses qualités d'observation, une immense érudition, multipliant les arguments et les exemples, ce qui fait de la Balance des discours non seulement une oeuvre philosophiquement importante en tant que telle, mais aussi une véritable encyclopédie des savoirs de la Chine ancienne. La présente anthologie propose la traduction de vingt traités importants d'un point de vue philosophique. Wang Chong y aborde des questions centrales de la pensée chinoise ancienne, comme celle de la nature humaine ou de la destinée. Il traite de toutes sortes d'histoires et légendes rapportées par les anciens textes, n'hésitant pas à les critiquer même lorsqu'elles peuvent se réclamer de l'autorité des plus grands auteurs ; il se permet d'ailleurs de mettre en doute l'infaillibilité des Classiques du confucianisme eux-mêmes. Il s'en prend nommément à quelques-uns des penseurs de l'époque pré-impériale, et à Confucius lui-même, en des termes sévères, dans un traité, "Questions à Confucius", qui valut à Wang Chong d'être sévèrement condamné plus tard par les confucianistes bien-pensants.

Wang Chong, Intr. Trad., Annoté Par Marc Kalinowski
Balance Des Discours: Destin, Providence Et Divination
8vo, br. ed. 652pp. La Balance des discours(Lunheng) est un recueil d'essais du penseur des Han orientaux, Wang Chong (27-100 ?). Le but de l'auteur était de mettre sur la balance les opinions et les moeurs de son temps pour inciter les hommes à plus de sagesse et de bon sens. Avec Wang Chong, on pénètre au coeur de la mentalité des lettrés des Han, de leurs habitudes et des mouvements d'idées qui les agitaient. Ses connaissances encyclopédiques, son sens de l'observation et son goût de l'exemple concret font aussi de l'ouvrage un réservoir inépuisable d'informations sur la culture et la société chinoises anciennes. Les vingt-cinq traités traduits dans la présente anthologie sont organisés autour de trois thèmes, destin, providence et divination, qui forment un ensemble cohérent. Il est difficile en effet d'aborder la question du destin chez Wang Chong sans empiéter sur le terrain de la providence, ni de parler des présages indépendamment de sa conception de l'action du Ciel dans le monde, de même que ses vues sur la divination et la magie ne peuvent se comprendre sans faire appel à sa théorie du destin. La mise à l'index de la Balance des discours au XIIe siècle par les lettrés des Song sous la double accusation d'un manque de révérence à l'égard de Confucius et d'une complaisance affichée pour le taoïsme en a fait un écrit souvent qualifié de marginal. Redécouvert au XXe siècle, Wang Chong passe dès lors pour le champion d'un rationalisme critique à la chinoise. Par-delà les excès de l'ère maoïste où il est érigé en parangon du matérialiste anti-confucéen, sa défiance à l'égard des idéologies, son pessimisme teinté d'ironie, sa philosophie vitaliste enfin et son rejet de toute intelligence divine : tout cela confère à ses écrits un pouvoir décapant qui les rend attractifs et finalement proches de nous. texte a front en chinois.

Wang Der-wei David
The Monster That Is History: History, Violence, and Fictional Writing in Twentieth-Century China
8vo, br. ed. ancient China a monster called Taowu was known for both its vicious nature and its power to see the past and the future. Over the centuries Taowu underwent many incarnations until it became identifiable with history itself. Since the seventeenth century, fictive accounts of history have accommodated themselves to the monstrous nature of Taowu. Moving effortlessly across the entire twentieth-century literary landscape, David Der-wei Wang delineates the many meanings of Chinese violence and its literary manifestations. Taking into account the campaigns of violence and brutality that have rocked generations of Chinese - often in the name of enlightenment, rationality, and utopian plenitude - this book places its arguments along two related axes: history and representation, modernity and monstrosity. Wang considers modern Chinese history as a complex of geopolitical, ethnic, gendered, and personal articulations of bygone and ongoing events. His discussion ranges from the politics of decapitation to the poetics of suicide, and from the typology of hunger and starvation to the technology of crime and punishment

Wang Di
The Teahouse under Socialism: The Decline and Renewal of Public Life in Chengdu, 1950-2000
8vo,br. ed. 311pp. To understand a city fully, writes Di Wang, we must observe its most basic units of social life. In The Teahouse under Socialism, Wang does just that, arguing that the teahouses of Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province, are some of the most important public spaces—perfect sites for examining the social and economic activities of everyday Chinese. Wang looks at the transformation of these teahouses from private businesses to collective ownership and how state policy and the proprietors’ response to it changed the overall economic and social structure of the city. He uses this transformation to illuminate broader trends in China’s urban public life from 1950 through the end of the Cultural Revolution and into the post-Mao reform era. In doing so, The Teahouse under Socialism charts the fluctuations in fortune of this ancient cultural institution and analyzes how it survived, and even thrived, under bleak conditions. Throughout, Wang asks such questions as: Why and how did state power intervene in the operation of small businesses? How was "socialist entertainment" established in a local society? How did the well-known waves of political contestation and struggle in China change Chengdu’s teahouses and public life? In the end, Wang argues, the answers to such questions enhance our understanding of public life and political culture in the Communist state.

Wang Jing
The Story of Stone: Intertextuality, Ancient Chinese Stone Lore, and the Stone Symbolism in Dream of the Red Chamber, Water Margin, and The Journey to the West (Post-Contemporary Interventions)
8vo br. ed. In this pathbreaking study of three of the most familiar texts in the Chinese tradition-all concerning stones endowed with magical properties-Jing Wang develops a monumental reconstruction of ancient Chinese stone lore. Wang's thorough and systematic comparison of these classic works illuminates the various tellings of the stone story and provides new insight into major topics in traditional Chinese literature.Bringing together Chinese myth, religion, folklore, art, and literature, this book is the first in any language to amass the sources of stone myth and stone lore in Chinese culture. Uniting classical Chinese studies with contemporary Western theoretical concerns, Wang examines these stone narratives by analyzing intertextuality within Chinese traditions. She offers revelatory interpretations to long-standing critical issues, such as the paradoxical character of the monkey in The Journey to the West, the circularity of narrative logic in The Dream of the Red Chamber, and the structural necessity of the stone tablet in Water Margin.By both challenging and incorporating traditional sinological scholarship, Wang's The Story of Stone reveals the ideological ramifications of these three literary works on Chinese cultural history and makes the past relevant to contemporary intellectual discourse. Specialists in Chinese literature and culture, comparative literature, literary theory, and religious studies will find much of interest in this outstanding work, which is sure to become a standard reference on the subject.

Hunger Trilogy
8vo, br. ed. This autobiographical novella was written in 1980 by one of China s leading dissidents, who was released from jail in late October 1990 again after being imprisoned as a pro-democracy activist in the wake of the Tiananmen incident of spring 1989. Wang recounts three episodes of extreme hardship in his life: incarceration in a Guomindang jail during the 1930s for his communist activism, on the run from Japanese troops during the 1940s in a bleak part of Shandong Province, and imprisonment as a rightist in Shanghai during the 1960s cultural revolution. The central theme of the three stories is extreme deprivation and Hunger .

WANG SHeng-Wei
The Last Journey of the San Bao Eunuch, Admiral Zheng He
8vo, br. ed. 400pp. From 1405, in order to maintain and expand the Ming Dynasty’s tributary system, Yongle Emperor Zhu Di (reigning 1402-1424) and Xuande Emperor Zhu Zhanji (reigning 1425-1435) ordered eunuch Zheng He to lead giant fleets across the seas. But soon after Zheng He’s seventh and last voyage in the 1430s, the Ming emperors put an end to this activity and ordered all records of previous voyages to be destroyed. Chinese writer Luo Maodeng (???), knowing the history of some of these voyages, wished to preserve a record of them, but, conscious of the possible penalty, decided to record the facts “under a veil”, in his 1597 novel, An Account of the Western World Voyage of the San Bao Eunuch («???????»). This is what Dr. Sheng-Wei Wang has concluded after reading and analysing Luo’s novel. Her book, The last journey of the San Bao Eunuch, Admiral Zheng He, shows the methodology and evidential arguments by which she has sought to lift the veil and the conclusions she suggests, including the derivation of the complete trans-Atlantic navigational routes and timelines of that last journey and the idea that Zheng He’s last expedition plausibly reached the ancient American Indian city, Cahokia, in the U.S. central Mississippi Valley in late autumn, 1433, long before Christopher Columbus set foot for the first time in the Americas. She supports the hotly debated view that Ming Chinese sailors and ships reached farther than previously accepted in modern times and calls for further research. She hopes this book will become an important step in bridging the gap in our understanding of ancient China-America history in the era before the Age of Discovery. An interesting contribution to an ongoing debate. This edition has 48 scattered b/w illustrations and 8 b/w plates.

Wang Y. Yvon
Reinventing Licentiousness: Pornography and Modern China
8vo, hardcover in dj, 289pp. Y. Yvon Wang draws on previously untapped archives?ranging from police archives and surveys to ephemeral texts and pictures?to argue that pornography in China represents a unique configuration of power and desire that both reflects and shapes historical processes. On the one hand, since the late imperial period, pornography has democratized pleasure in China and opened up new possibilities of imagining desire. On the other, ongoing controversies over its definition and control show how the regulatory ideas of premodern cultural politics and the popular products of early modern cultural markets have contoured the globalized world. Reinventing Licentiousness emphasizes the material factors, particularly at the grassroots level of consumption and trade, that governed "proper" sexual desire and led to ideological shifts around the definition of pornography. By linking the past to the present and beyond, Wang's social and intellectual history showcases circulated pornographic material as a motor for cultural change. The result is an astonishing foray into what historicizing pornography can mean for our understandings of desire, legitimacy, capitalism, and culture.
