China Inside Out: Contemporary Chinese Nationalism and TransnationalismP l Ny¡ri, Joana Breidenbach Central European University Press, 1 ian. 2005 - 354 pagini The "war on terror" has generated a scramble for expertise on Islamic or Asian "culture" and revived support for area studies, but it has done so at the cost of reviving the kinds of dangerous generalizations that area studies have rightly been accused of. In the case of China, this book shows the diverse array of critical but solidly grounded research approaches that can be used in studying a society. Its approach neither trivializes nor dismisses the elusive effects of culture, and it pays attention to both the state and the multiplicity of voices that challenge it. |

The state was only too conspicuously present. It was its boundaries and/or the distribution of power, and possibly of other advantages, within it which were resented. This in itself is highly significant. Not only is our definition of nationalism parasitic on a prior and assumed...

Pagina 138 - Anderson has pointed out that, "Not least as a result of the ethnicization of political life in the wealthy, postindustrial states, what one can call long-distance nationalism is visibly emerging.

Nudity is often idealized and romanticized in China as being natural, free, and divorced from the constraints and realities of "modern
