In recent decades, this multiplicity has generated a rich corpus of reflection and experimentation in literature, film, visual and performance art, and design and architecture, within both China and different parts of the West.Approaching this history from a variety of alternative theoretical perspectives, Beyond Sinology reflects on the Chinese script to pinpoint the multiple connections between languages, scripts, and medial expressions and cultural and national identities. Through a complex study of intercultural representations, exchanges, and tensions, the text focuses on the concrete "scripting" of identity and alterity, advancing a new understanding of the links between identity and medium and a critique of articulations that rely on single, monolithic, and univocal definitions of writing.Chinese writing-with its history of divergent readings in Chinese and non-Chinese contexts, with its current reinvention in the age of new media and globalization-can teach us how to read and construct mediality and cultural identity in interculturally responsible ways and also how to scrutinize, critique, and yet appreciate and enjoy the powerful multi-medial creativity embodied in writing. 410 0$aGlobal Chinese Culture 606 $aChinese language$xWriting$xHistory 606 $aChinese characters$xHistory 606 $aInscriptions, Chinese$xHistory and criticism 606 $aChinese in literature 606 $aChinese in motion pictures 606 $aMass media and language$zChina 606 $aChinese in art 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChinese language$xWriting$xHistory. 615 0$aChinese characters$xHistory. 615 0$aInscriptions, Chinese$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aChinese in literature. 615 0$aChinese in motion pictures. 615 0$aMass media and language 615 0$aChinese in art. 676 $a495.1/11 700 $aBachner$b Andrea$0955492 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464461203321 996 $aBeyond sinology$92461171 997 $aUNINA
