Turchin Peter and Sergey A. Nefedov
Secular Cycles (ISBN:978-0691136967)
8vo, cloth in dj 346 pages.20x6.40x1.20 inches.65 line illus. 62 tables. Many historical processes exhibit recurrent patterns of change. Century-long periods of population expansion come before long periods of stagnation and decline; the dynamics of prices mirror population oscillations; and, states go through strong expansionist phases followed by periods of state failure, endemic sociopolitical instability, and territorial loss. Peter Turchin and Sergey Nefedov explore the dynamics and causal connections between such demographic, economic, and political variables in agrarian societies and offer detailed explanations for these long-term oscillations - what the authors call secular cycles. "Secular Cycles" elaborates and expands upon the demographic-structural theory first advanced by Jack Goldstone, which provides an explanation of long-term oscillations. This book tests that theory's specific and quantitative predictions by tracing the dynamics of population numbers, prices and real wages, elite numbers and incomes, state finances, and sociopolitical instability. Turchin and Nefedov study societies in England, France, and Russia during the medieval and early modern periods, and look back at the Roman Republic and Empire. Incorporating theoretical and quantitative history, the authors examine a specific model of historical change and, more generally, investigate the utility of the dynamical systems approach in historical applications. An indispensable and groundbreaking resource for a wide variety of social scientists, "Secular Cycles" will interest practitioners of economic history, historical sociology, complexity studies, and demography.

August Oliver
Il Fuggiasco Di Xiamen
8vo, br. ed. pag. 357. Xiamen e' una citta' sull'omonima isola rocciosa, collegata alla Cina sud-orientale da un'autostrada e due ponti: a una baia "disseminata di imbarcazioni e sfavillii erratici" fa da controcanto un agglomerato industriale fitto di immigrati "irregolari e affamati". Qui per lungo tempo ha spadroneggiato Lai Changxing, il tycoon che prima di diventare "il latitante piu' ricercato della Cina" e' stato il piu' famoso tra i nuovi ricchi del post-maoismo, di volta in volta definito come un semplice tofei ("bandito", anche se in senso non dispregiativo) o come un Robin Hood dispensatore di lavoro. E qui si insedia, alla fine degli anni Novanta, il giovane corrispondente del "Times" Oliver August, per il quale Lai e' l'emblema di una Cina con il piede in due staffe, che incoraggia i cittadini "ad agire sempre piu' liberamente, ma senza garantire che il loro operato rientri nella legalita". L'indagine-inseguimento nei luoghi dell'infanzia e dell'ascesa di Lai diventa allora un impressionante succedersi di "visioni" rivelatrici: 1'"obitorio umano" di Beihai e' la quintessenza di tutte le aree depresse; e la stessa Xiamen sembra il concentrato di un'interminabile transizione

The Saatchi Gallery and Jiehong, Jiang
The Revolution Continues: New Art From China (ISBN:0847832066)
oblong 4to, cloth in In his text Jiang Jiehong argues that the widespread destruction of traditional Chinese treasures by the Red Guards, especially in the early period of 1966, overshadows the entire period. Today's rebellious artistic spirit is, in fact, an extension of Mao's legacy. The extensive Saatchi collection of new Chinese art is presented in conjunction with Joshua Jiang's examination of the use of the colour red, the iconography of Mao, the sense of the collective and the use of textual language that derives from the calligraphy of the propaganda poster. This dramatic material will be published to coincide with the exhibitions at the new Saatchi Gallery. 264 pages.

RODDY, STEPHEN
Literati Identity and Its Fictional Representations in Late Imperial China.
8vo, viii + 315pp, index, bibliography, note. This is a study of the intellectual and literary factors that in the mid-Qing dynasty contributed to the development of vernacular fiction of unprecedented scholarly and satirical sophistication. The author examines three works of vernacular fiction Rulin waishi (ca. 1750), Yesou puyan (ca. 1780), and Jinghua yuan (1821/1828) for their articulation of new perceptions of the literati, or Confucian scholar-gentry. He places the reevaluation of literati roles and privilege found in these novels within the context of scholarly and cultural developments, notably the ascendance of the philological or evidential studies movement of the Qianlong and Jiaqing periods (1736-1820). The author cites a broad range of contemporary discursive writings to corroborate evidence of a clearly discernible trend to modify or negate the ethical and epistemological certainties that had long served as the ideological basis of literati social eminence. These writings implicitly redefined the tasks and interests by which the literati constructed their self-identity. The widespread predilection of these various discourses toward intellectualizing literati identity is in turn brought to bear on the three texts of vernacular fiction. By reading vernacular fiction, scholarly and exegetical texts, and aesthetic treatises as parallel if not wholly identical aims to redefine literati identity, the book attempts to advance our understanding of the intersections and overlaps between literary and discursive practices of late traditional China.
