Condorcet and Modernity explores the interaction between Condorcet's political theory, legislative pragmatism, public policy proposals and the management of change. David Williams examines key topics including rights, the civil order, the Church, the slave trade, women's civil rights, judicial reform, voting and representation, economics, monarchy, power and revolution. He explores the complex links between Condorcet as the visionary ideologist and Condorcet as the pragmatic legislator, and between Condorcet's concept of modernity - the application of 'social arithmetic' to government policies. Based on an extensive array of both printed and manuscript sources, this major contribution to enlightenment studies is a full treatment of Condorcet's politics. 517 3 $aCondorcet & Modernity 676 $a320/.01 700 $aWilliams$b David$f1938 May 22-$01029079 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457560703321 996 $aCondorcet and modernity$92445330 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03761oam 2200733I 450 001 9910962504203321 005 20251116192810.0 010 $a1-134-51018-7 010 $a0-8153-7456-9 010 $a1-315-88985-4 010 $a1-134-51011-X 024 7 $a10.4324/9781315889856 035 $a(CKB)2550000001126022 035 $a(EBL)1434063 035 $a(OCoLC)860755155 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001001660 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11555142 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001001660 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10968038 035 $a(PQKB)11728572 035 $a(OCoLC)868956271 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1434063 035 $a(OCoLC)859536822 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000001126022 100 $a20180706d2014 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aContemporary Chinese print media $ecultivating middle-class taste /$fYi Zheng 205 $a1st ed. 210 1$aNew York :$cRoutledge,$d2014. 215 $a1 online resource (135 p.) 225 0 $aMedia, culture, and social change in Asia series 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a0-415-55969-3 311 08$a1-299-95411-1 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aCover; Title Page; Copyright Page; Table of Contents; List of figures; Acknowledgements; Introduction: taste, class culture and the print media in contemporary China; Taste, distinction and class; New genres for the new middle-market readers; 1 Exemplary tastes, memories of class: history as cultural source; Post-reform nostalgia and select memories of the past; Recovering the last cultural aristocracy; Yu Qiuyu and the 'Great Cultural Essay'; Elite culture, popular icons and classics in multimillion bestsellers; 2 Narrating city, placing class; Reconfiguration of space as 'fix' and 'niche' 327 $aWriting Shanghai for good taste and affluenceLooking for the Peach Blossom Spring: Chengdu mode; 3 Aesthetic-politics of prosperity: romancing the middle class; White-collar romance; Re-establishing bourgeois and middle-class sentiments; Afterword; Notes; Bibliography; Index 330 $a

This book examines the transformations in form, genre, and content of contemporary Chinese print media. It describes and analyses the role of post-reform social stratification in the media, focusing particularly on how the changing practices and institutions of the industry correspond to and accelerate the emergence of a relatively affluent urban leisure-reading market. It argues that this reinvention of Chinese print media vis-a?-vis the creation of a post-socialist taste (class) culture is an essential part of the cultural and affective transformations in contemporary Chinese society, and 410 0$aMedia, Culture and Social Change in Asia Series 606 $aChinese literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aChinese literature$xSocial aspects 606 $aLiterature and society$zChina$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aBooks and reading$xSocial aspects$zChina 606 $aMiddle class in literature 606 $aMiddle class$zChina 615 0$aChinese literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aChinese literature$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 615 0$aBooks and reading$xSocial aspects 615 0$aMiddle class in literature. 615 0$aMiddle class 676 $a135 700 $aZheng$b Yi$f1961-$01228292 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962504203321 996 $aContemporary Chinese print media$94484242 997 $aUNINA
