Jan Morris
Hong Kong
8vo Black cloth spine over boards very good, dj., 359p., index, chronology, bibliography, end paper maps. A dazzling amalgam of conspicuous consumption & primitive poverty, the most architecturally incongruous yet undeniably beautiful of urban panoramas, the Crown Colony of Hong Kong defies description.except when described by Jan Morris ! Through crowded streets, fights her way across the chaotic floor of the Stock Exchange, sips champagne with Taipans and their compradors in an owners' box at Happy Valley Race cou- rse, delights in the hetrogeneous vitality of the ferry ride from Kowloon to Victoria.A complete guide, from early days down to the present. Excellent resource

Les séductions du palais : Cuisiner et manger en Chine
4to, br. ed. pp.192. Catalogue d'objets et livre de recettes, Les Séductions du palais. Cuisiner et manger en Chine accompagne une exposition du musée du Quai Branly. Voyage des saveurs à travers l'espace chinois, beauté de l'art de la table, ce livre nous fait découvrir une civilisation à travers sa cuisine, l'une des plus réputées au monde. Il nous plonge dans les traditions de table en Chine, à travers des objets culinaires conservés au Musée national de Chine et au musée Guimet, et une sélection de trente-deux recettes emblématiques. Cet ouvrage retrace, depuis le Néolithique, une riche histoire avec ses inventions (celle des pâtes alimentaires ou de boissons alcooliques tirées des céréales.), ses instruments de cuisson et sa vaisselle (bronze, céramique, laque, orfèvrerie, porcelaine.), ses traditions culinaires (la consommation de grains de céréales cuits entiers, la gastronomie médicinale.). D'origine rituelle, façonnée sur les autels des ancêtres, la gastronomie chinoise a gagné au fil des siècles la table des princes. De solennelle elle est devenue savoureuse et partie si intégrante de la vie chinoise que le premier mot que l'on adresse à un ami est Chifanle meiyou, "Avez-vous mangé ?".

JENCO LEIGH EDITOR WITH A FOREWORD WANG GUNGWU
Chinese Thought As Global Theory: Diversifying Knowledge Production In The Social Sciences And Humanities
State University of New York Press Albany: 2016. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Using Chinese thought explores how non-Western thought can structure generally applicable social and political theory. With a particular focus on Chinese thought this volume explores how and under what conditions so-called "non-Western" traditions of thought can structure generally applicable social and political theory. Reversing the usual comparison between "local" Chinese application and "universal" theory the work demonstrates how Chinese experiences and ideas offer systematic insight into shared social and political dilemmas. Contributors discuss how medieval Chinese understandings of causal heterogeneity can relieve impasses within contemporary historiography how current economic and social conditions in China respond proactively to the future configuration of world markets and how hybrid modes of cross-cultural engagement offer new foundations for the enterprise of learning from cultural others. Each chapter works from Chinese perspectives to theorize the location of knowledge its conditions of production and the modes through which its content or adequacy is legitimated challenged and sustained. Rather than reproducing Eurocentric knowledge production in Chinese form the mobilization of Chinese thought as a generally applicable body of theory actually breaks down clear boundaries between Chinese and non-Chinese thought. Leigh Jenco is Associate Professor of Political Theory at the London School of Economics and Political Science. She is the author of Making the Political: Founding and Action in the Political Theory of Zhang Shizhao and Changing Referents: Learning Across Space and Time in China and the West.
