Chicharro Gladys
Le fardeau des petits empereurs : Une génération d'enfants uniques en Chine
8vo, br. ed. pp.319. En lançant la politique de l'enfant unique en 1979 simultanément aux grandes réformes économiques, le gouvernement chinois entendait accélérer la modernisation. Bien qu'il se réclame toujours du marxisme, le " socialisme de marché " est désormais prôné. La population est encouragée à s'enrichir et le pays se trouve de plus en plus intégré dans les processus de la mondialisation. A partir d'une étude de terrain menée dans la ville nouvelle de Langfang (province du Hebei), site d'une modernité utopique, ce livre porte sur le façonnement de la première génération d'enfants uniques. Dans un pays où les, structures familiales sont fondées sur le culte des ancêtres et un système de filiation strictement patrilinéaire, la position d'unique descendant occupée aujourd'hui par tous les enfants uniques les rend particulièrement précieux aux yeux de leur entourage et leur vaut le surnom de " petits empereurs ". Cependant, on évoque aussi souvent leur lourd " fardeau ", car ils se trouvent également seuls pour réaliser les attentes et assurer l'avenir de leurs parents. Ce contexte de profondes mutations (familiales et économiques) place les enfants uniques au coeur du problème que pose la transmission face à une situation radicalement nouvelle. Quc transmettent les familles dans un environnement bouleversé ? Qu'en dire au regard de l'éducation scolaire qui met directement en application les volontés gouvernementales ? En définitive, qui sont les nouveaux sujets chinois, " petits empereurs " d'un pays communiste qui pratique le libéralisme économique ? Force est de constater qu'ils ne sont pas passifs. Acteurs à part entière de leur vie et du monde, ils sont créateurs de culture. Maître de conférences à l'université paris VIII et membre du laboratoire Experice, Gladys Chicharro est ethnologue, docteur de l'Université Paris X-Nanterre. Ses travaux, menés depuis 1999 en Chine, portent sur l'éducation et la transmission aussi bien scolaire que familiale, l'enfance et les pratiques d'écriture. Elle a notamment publié " Qban yumen : Histoire d'un manuel chinois alternatif " (in B. Baptandier & G. Charuty, Du corps au texte. Approches comparatives, Nanterre, Société d'ethnologie, 2008) et " Education physique et incorporation de la morale dans les écoles élémentaires en République populaire de Chine " , Perspectives Chinoises, n°102, 2008.

Chin Josh e Liza Lin
Stato di sorveglianza: La via cinese verso una nuova era del controllo Sociale
8vo, br. ed. pp.336. Dove corre il confine tra l'utopia e lo Stato di polizia digitale? Questo libro prova a tracciarlo. Racconta la storia – incredibile, dettagliata, avvincente – di come il Partito comunista cinese stia costruendo un nuovo tipo di controllo politico, plasmando la volontà popolare attraverso un sofisticato (e spesso brutale) sfruttamento dei dati. È una storia nata nella Silicon Valley e poi proseguita con la «guerra al terrorismo» americana, ma che adesso si sta svolgendo in modo allarmante nella remota frontiera cinese dell'Asia centrale. Nella regione dello Xinjiang, mentre un movimento di minoranza prova a opporsi al controllo del Partito, i leader cinesi hanno costruito un distopico Stato di polizia: milioni di persone – gli uiguri – vivono costantemente sotto lo sguardo dell'Intelligenza Artificiale gestita dalle forze di sicurezza. Dall'altra parte del paese, nella città di Hangzhou, il governo sta invece tessendo un'utopia digitale. Qui la tecnologia aiuta a ottimizzare ogni aspetto della vita dei cittadini: dai percorsi del traffico alla sicurezza alimentare, alla risposta alle emergenze. Sono i due lati di una stessa medaglia, seducente e spaventosa: controllo diffuso e repressivo, da un lato; efficienza sicura e capillare, dall'altro. Gli strumenti di questo straordinario esperimento sociale non riguardano però soltanto la Cina. Il riconoscimento facciale e vocale, le telecamere di sorveglianza, la raccolta di quantità imponenti di dati sugli individui: tutto ciò si è diffuso ovunque, e costituisce un «ambiente» in cui siamo costantemente immersi, sempre di più, e senza esserne del tutto consapevoli. I pluripremiati giornalisti investigativi Josh Chin e Liza Lin accompagnano i lettori in un viaggio attraverso il nuovo mondo che la Cina sta costruendo, dentro e fuori dai suoi confini. Raccontando le storie di chi è stato colpito dalle ambizioni del Partito, "Stato di sorveglianza" rivela un futuro che è già in corso, nel quale la libertà e la democrazia, per come le abbiamo conosciute finora, dovranno essere ripensate: quello di una società nuova, costruita attorno all'immenso potere della sorveglianza digitale.

Chin Tamara T.
Savage Exchange: Han Imperialism, Chinese Literary Style, and the Economic Imagination
8vo, br. ed. 380pp. Savage Exchange explores the politics of representation during the Han dynasty (206 BCE?220 CE) at a pivotal moment when China was asserting imperialist power on the Eurasian continent and expanding its local and long-distance (?Silk Road?) markets. Tamara T. Chin explains why rival political groups introduced new literary forms with which to represent these expanded markets. To promote a radically quantitative approach to the market, some thinkers developed innovative forms of fiction and genre. In opposition, traditionalists reasserted the authority of classical texts and advocated a return to the historical, ethics-centered, marriage-based, agricultural economy that these texts described. The discussion of frontiers and markets thus became part of a larger debate over the relationship between the world and the written word. These Han debates helped to shape the ways in which we now define and appreciate early Chinese literature and produced the foundational texts of Chinese economic thought. Each chapter in the book examines a key genre or symbolic practice (philosophy, fu-rhapsody, historiography, money, kinship) through which different groups sought to reshape the political economy. By juxtaposing well-known texts with recently excavated literary and visual materials, Chin elaborates a new literary and cultural approach to Chinese economic thought.

Landscapes Clear and Radiant: The Art of Wang Hui (1632-1717) (Metropolitan Museum of Art) (Hardcover)
4to, pp. 248 Wang Hui, the most celebrated painter of late-17th-century China, played a key role both in reinvigorating past traditions of landscape painting and in establishing the stylistic foundations for the imperially sponsored art of the Qing court. An artist of protean talent and immense ambition, Wang developed an all-embracing synthesis of historical landscape styles that constituted one of the greatest artistic innovations of late imperial China. This comprehensive study of the painters careerthe first published in Englishfeatures essays examining his life and achievement as well as his masterwork, the monumental scroll depicting the Kangxi emperors Southern Inspection Tour. Twenty-seven of Wang Huis paintings, drawn from the Metropolitan Museum and from museums in Beijing, Taipei, Shanghai, and Tokyo, are supplemented by a wealth of images ranging from ancient Chinese paintings to works by Wangs contemporaries.

Others show the port in winter 1938 several snowmen in evidence fleet and gunnery exercises and the crew's victories in the Weihaiwei football competition and the China station's pulling regattas. One studio image shows their bevy of trophies foremost among them the coveted Yokohama Bowl. In Shanghai Jordan snapped many of the famous vistas and sights. The second half is focused on the Sino-Japanese War which had been raging since 1937.

Architectural blueprints for commercial cultural and residential projects.
Various cities and architects: c.1918-22. Building Republican China An appealing collection highlighting the role of foreign finance and architectural expertise in the modernization of Republican China's major commercial centres. The blueprints show business premises Western-style houses and apartments and a theatre. Seven were issued by the architectural firm of Henry Charrey and Marcel Conversy. Based in Jinan the firm was employed from 1918 by the Belgian-French company Crédit Foncier d'Extrême-Orient which financed and oversaw construction in Beijing Shanghai Tianjin and other cities with a foreign presence. In Jinan Charrey & Conversy were involved in the laying out of a new post office compound and designing Western-style houses. Also present are blueprints for offices for the Danish outfit Andersen Meyer & Co. which arrived in the city in 1916 and a hong for the Asiatic Petroleum Company. A second group relates to the Tianjin civil engineers Brossard Mopin & Co. Founded in 1910 it specialized in buildings made with reinforced concrete.
