Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Built on twenty years of fieldwork in rural Jiangyong of Hunan Province in south China, this book explores the world's only gender-defined and now disappearing 'women's script' known as n?shu. What drove peasant women to create a script of their own and write, and how do those writings throw new light on how gender is addressed in epistemology and historiography and how the unprivileged social class uses marginalized forms of expression to negotiate with the dominant social structure. Further, how have the politics of salvaging this disappearing centuries-old cultural heritage molded a new poetics in contemporary society This book explores n?shu in conjunction with the local women's singing tradition (n?ge), tied into the life narratives of four women born in the 1910s, 1930s, and 1960s respectively, each representative in her own way: a n?ge singer (majority of Jiangyong women), a child bride (enjoying not much n?shu/n?ge), the last living traditionally-trained n?shu writer, and a new-generation n?shu transmitter. Altogether, their stories unfold peasant women's lifeworlds and forefronts various aspects of China's changing social milieu over the past century. They show how n?shu/n?ge-registering women's sense and sensibilities and providing agency to subjects who have been silenced by history-constitute a reflexive social field whereby women share life stories to expand the horizon of their personal worldviews and probe beneath the surface of their existence for new inspiration in their process of becoming. With the concept of 'expressive depths,' this book opens a new vista on how women express themselves through multiple forms that simultaneously echo and critique the mainstream social system and urges a rethinking of how forms of expression define and confine the voice carried. Examining the multiple efforts undertaken by scholars, local officials, and cultural entrepreneurs to revive n?shu which have ironically threatened to disfigure its true face, this book poses a question of whither n?shu Should it be transformed, or has it reached a perfect end point from which to fade into history.…
