Paperback. Condizione: New. "Try Something Different. Something Really Chinese" The Happy Hsiungs recovers the lost histories of Shih-I and Dymia Hsiung, two once highly visible, but now largely forgotten Chinese writers in Britain, who sought to represent China and Chineseness to the rest of the world. Shih-I shot to worldwide fame with his play Lady Precious Stream in the 1930s and became known as the first Chinese director to work in the West End and on Broadway. Dymia was the first Chinese woman in Britain to publish a fictional autobiography in English. Diana Yeh traces the Hsiungs' lives from their childhood in Qing dynasty China and youth amid the radical May Fourth era to Britain and the USA, where they rubbed shoulders with George Bernard Shaw, James M. Barrie, H. G. Wells, Pearl Buck, Lin Yutang, Anna May Wong and Paul Robeson. In recounting the Hsiungs' rise to fame, Yeh focuses on the challenges they faced in becoming accepted as modern subjects, as knowledge of China and the Chinese was persistently framed by colonial legacies and Orientalist discourses, which often determined how their works were shaped and understood.She also shows how Shih-I and Dymia, in negotiating acceptance, "'performed" not only specific forms of Chineseness but identities that conformed to modern ideals of class, gender and sexuality, defined by the heteronormative nuclear family. Though feted as 'The Happy Hsiungs', their lives ultimately highlight a bitter struggle in attempts to become modern.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This is the first text to address British Chinese culture. It explores British Chinese cultural politics in terms of national and international debates on the Chinese diaspora, race, multiculture, identity and belonging, and transnational 'Chineseness'. Collectively, the essays look at how notions of 'British Chinese culture' have been constructed and challenged in the visual arts, theatre and performance, and film, since the mid-1980s. They contest British Chinese invisibility, showing how practice is not only heterogeneous, but is forged through shifting historical and political contexts; continued racialization, the currency of Orientalist stereotypes and the possibility of their subversion; the policies of institutions and their funding strategies; and dynamic relationships with transnationalisms. The book brings a fresh perspective that makes both an empirical and theoretical contribution to the study of race and cultural production, whilst critically interrogating the very notion of British Chineseness.…

This exhibition catalogue begins with his early works, and explores the artist's life experiences and constant creative breakthroughs in four different locales revealing the artistic perspectives and philosophical ideas running through his work. With scope encompassed ink, oil, monochromatic paintings, photography, and mixed media, Li integrates Eastern thought with Western materials and reveals his profound perspectives and philosophical ideas. The book includes 4 volumes, and each cover symbolises Li's art belief: Volume 1 with red cover collects art critics (red is life); Volume 2 with black cover presents Li's artworks (black is the beginning and the end); Volume 3 with golden cover collects Li s chronology and poems (golden is glory); Volume 4 with white cover is a gift box (white is purity)".
