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.

China: late 1930s. Cruising competition and conflict on the China station A well-preserved collection divided into sections concerning naval life in Weihaiwei and other ports and the Sino-Japanese hostilities. The lead in its class HMS Dorsetshire was launched in 1929 and following refitting served on the China station with the 5th Cruiser Squadron from 1936 until the general outbreak of war in 1939.

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. Photographs of ruined Japanese cotton mills in Qingdao are followed by shots of Japanese troops entering the city to consolidate their control and others some perhaps from studios document the 1937 hostilities in Shanghai including the burning city skyline. Material on the final four leaves date from after the ship's departure from China. Landscape post-binder album 280 x 360 mm.

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. A large plan shows the imposing front face of a proposed building for the Gongxian Arsenal one of China's main manufacturers of weaponry and ammunition. In Tianjin Brossard Mopin also contracted for apartments and a new theatre and clubhouse for the China Theatre Company the floorplans here accompanied by textual overviews of the projects. Accompanying these two groups are a 1919 plan of Tsinghua University Beijing and seven blueprints for houses in a "Peking model residential centre" which was proposed by the city authorities in the early 1920s. This collection belonged to the engineer G. Gregoire who worked for the Crédit Foncier d'Extrême-Orient in partnership with both Charrey & Conversy and Brossard-Mopin & Co. His signature as the lead architect appears in the seven Charrey & Conversy blueprints and his ink stamp is on nearly all of the material suggesting his involvement in the wide range of projects. 21 blueprints 217 x 255 mm to 625 x 1130 mm; 2 project booklets in French each 6 pp. duplicate typescript and typescript cover sheet fixed with 3 butterfly clips. Various ink stamps numbers and annotations on booklets and verso of blueprints. General browning and light creasing couple of short splits plan of Tsinghua University slightly faded and lacking contrast but generally a well-preserved collection. unknown

Beijing 1959.
Beijing: "Beijing" huace bianji weiyuanhui 1959. The splendours of a socialist capital First edition deluxe issue published to mark the tenth anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Though unmarked as such this copy was owned by Solomon Adler one of the select group of Westerners permanently resident in China during the Mao era. The celebratory photobooks published in 1959 - equivalents were produced for Shanghai and other major cities - were predominantly distributed as gifts to party officials and foreign VIPs the latter group also receiving brochures containing translations of the captions. Among the many plates is an impressive folding panorama of Tiananmen Square and its vicinity showing the Great Hall of the People and the history museums which were all built in record time by a state keen to display communism's accomplishments. Immediately following the title page is a high-quality reproduction of Dong Xiwen's famous painting Kaiguo dadian "The Founding Ceremony". The work was repainted several times over the course of the 1950s as several party leaders present at the founding ceremony fell out of favour with Mao. An economist by training Adler 1909-1994 worked in the US in the 1940s but later fell under suspicion during the "red scare." After a period spent at Cambridge University he moved to China in 1962 living in Beijing until his death three decades later and working on the official Chinese translation into English of Mao's Selected Works. Parr & WassinkLundgren note three other issues: "a special deluxe clothbound issue with a gold brocade box and red cover;. a third edition with 120 selected photos printed on loose pages and placed in a brocade box; and a fourth edition with a silver brocade case". Quarto. With 64 tipped-in colour plates 8 folding 2 folding colour plates; illustrations throughout; title page printed in dark and light brown. Text in Chinese. With publisher's 8-page brochures of English and Russian captions loosely inserted.

Housed in original textured cardboard box front cover with calligraphic title in blind and photographic onlay showing fireworks in Beihai park.

Lankin.
Atlas Chinensis; Being a Second Part of a Relation of Remarkable Passages in two Embassies from the East India Company of the United Provinces to the Vice-Roy Singlamong and General Taising Lipovi and to Konchi Emperor of China and East Tartary. John OGILBY. 1671. This fascinating copperplate engraving comes from a famous work originally published in Dutch by the trade diplomat Jan Nieuhoff translated into English by the British mapmaker and publisher John Ogilby. The images provide a document of early western contact with China and come from the account written by the diplomat Jan Nieuhoff who was the steward of the first Dutch trade Ambassadors to China. The Dutch East India Company was keen to persuade the Emperor to open up the Chinese ports to the Dutch and Nieuhoff joined Pieter van Goyer and Jacob de Keyser on the mission to visit the Emperor Chun-Chi. The work includes many remarks on Chinese manners and customs together with a second part comprising a general description of the Chinese Empire. The fine plates and illustrations show town views in China Tibet and Tartary together with subjects such as costumes and natural history. Atlas Chinensis is a superb work on China noteworthy not only for text bringing notice of the mysteries of the East to English readers but for the magnificent engraved illustrations and plates. Copper engraving. Very good condition; some light age toning of sheet and slight foxing not affecting the image; a crease along the centrefold and tear to the bottom margin. Uncoloured. Size: 36 x 29 cm. 14 x 11½ inches unknown

CHINA
Map of China Shewing Railways Telegraphs & Treaty Ports.
London: War Office 1913. Modernity's steel rails The 1913 version of a map that was issued periodically throughout the 1910s. Drawn and printed at the Ordnance Survey Office in Southampton it highlights railways built in progress and proposed and two inset maps show links to Beijing and in Manchuria. A column of notes gives gauges mileages and notes on construction. The map shows that at the onset of Republican rule China had around a dozen lines in progress or planned - including a stretch linking Hankou to Canton - to complement the main lines connecting Beijing to Hankou Shanghai and Mukden. The side notes address the complexity of the railway network's governance and administration - lines were variously built managed and worked by combinations of foreign and Chinese organizations. Colour lithographed map 740 x 990 mm. Sometime folded occasional scuffing and edge toning two panels on verso browned: a very good example. unknown

CHINA
Paolinx Pagoda.
London 1671. This fascinating copperplate engraving comes from a famous work originally published in Dutch by the trade diplomat Jan Nieuhoff translated into English by the British mapmaker and publisher John Ogilby. The images provide a document of early western contact with China and come from the account written by the diplomat Jan Nieuhoff who was the steward of the first Dutch trade Ambassadors to China. The Dutch East India Company was keen to persuade the Emperor to open up the Chinese ports to the Dutch and Nieuhoff joined Pieter van Goyer and Jacob de Keyser on the mission to visit the Emperor Chun-Chi. The work includes many remarks on Chinese manners and customs together with a second part comprising a general description of the Chinese Empire. The fine plates and illustrations show town views in China Tibet and Tartary together with subjects such as costumes and natural history. Atlas Chinensis is a superb work on China noteworthy not only for text bringing notice of the mysteries of the East to English readers but for the magnificent engraved illustrations and plates. Copper engraving. Very good condition; some light age toning of sheet and slight foxing not affecting the image. Uncoloured. Size: 30 x 22 cm. 12 x 8½ inches unknown
