This book explores how the traditional ideal of Chinese manhood – the "wen" (cultural attainment) and "wu" (martial prowess) dyad – has been transformed by the increasing integration of China in the international scene. It discusses how increased travel and contact between China and the West are having a profound impact; showing how increased interchange with Western men, for whom "wu" is a more significant ideal, has shifted the balance in the classic Chinese dichotomy; and how the huge emphasis on wealth creation in contemporary China has changed the notion of "wen" itself to include business management skills and monetary power. The book also considers the implications of Chinese "soft power" outside China for the reconfigurations in masculinity ideals in the global setting. The rising significance of Chinese culture enables Chinese cultural norms, including ideals of manhood, to be increasingly integrated in the international sphere and to become hybridised. The book also examines the impact of the Japanese and Korean waves on popular conceptions of desirable manhood in China. Overall, it demonstrates that social constructions of Chinese masculinity have changed more fundamentally and become more global in the last three decades than any other time in the last three thousand years.

For more than three thousand years, Chinese life – from the city and the imperial palace, to the temple, the market and the family home – was configured around the courtyard. So too were the accomplishments of China's artistic, philosophical and institutional classes. Confucius' Courtyard tells the story of how the courtyard – that most singular and persistent architectural form – holds the key to understanding, even today, much of Chinese society and culture. Part architectural history, and part introduction to the cultural and philosophical history of China, the book explores the Chinese view of the world, and reveals the extent to which this is inextricably intertwined with the ancient concept of the courtyard, a place and a way of life which, it appears, has been almost entirely overlooked in China since the middle of the 20th century, and in the West for centuries. Along the way, it provides an accessible introduction to the Confucian idea of zhongyong ('the Middle Way'), the Chinese moral universe and the virtuous good life in the absence of an awesome God, and shows how these can only be fully understood through the humble courtyard – a space which is grounded in the earth, yet open to the heavens. Erudite, elegant and illustrated throughout by the author's own architectural drawings and sketches, Confucius' Courtyard weaves together architecture, philosophy and cultural history to explore what lies at the very heart of Chinese civilization.

From Tian Anmen To Times Square written by Gina Marchetti and has been published by Temple University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2006 with History categories.

From Tian'anmen to Times Square: Transnational China and the Chinese Diaspora on Global Screens, 1989-1997 explores the important interconnections involving questions of race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality on world screens by examining a range of films, videos, and digital works associated with global Chinese culture. The ways in which the world has imagined China and the images the Chinese have used to depict themselves have changed dramatically since 1989. The media spotlight placed on Beijing during the spring of 1989 created repercussions that continue to affect how China is seen globally, how it sees itself, and how the Chinese outside the People's Republic see themselves. The films and other texts included in this book represent a range of work by media artists working within China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, and on transnational co-productions involving those places. The book also features media from other positions within the Chinese diaspora (including Chinese America) and work produced on China by non-Chinese. Highlighting questions of the circulation of images, people, and commodities, the book explores the important interconnections involving questions of race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality on global screens. Beginning and ending with Tian'anmen and world image culture, a portrait emerges of momentous change and persistent challenges facing media artists and filmmakers working within "Greater China."

In "Thomas Henry Huxley; A Sketch Of His Life And Work," P. Chalmers Sir Mitchell presents a meticulously crafted biographical account that intricately chronicles the life and accomplishments of the eminent Victorian scientist, Thomas Henry Huxley. Imbued with a reverence for Huxley's steadfast advocacy of Darwinian evolution, the book employs a narrative style that mingles detailed analytical observation with richly descriptive prose. Mitchell not only delves into Huxley's groundbreaking contributions to biology and anthropology but also situates him within the larger context of 19th-century scientific discourse, illuminating the cultural and intellectual currents that influenced his work and legacy. P. Chalmers Sir Mitchell was a noted educator and biographer, whose deep admiration for Huxley's intellect and ethical stance likely inspired this comprehensive examination. Drawing from primary sources, letters, and contemporary accounts, Mitchell crafts a portrayal that underscores Huxley's role in bridging science and society. His insights into education and public understanding of science reflect a commitment to enlightening future generations about the importance of Huxley's contributions. This work is a vital resource for anyone seeking an in-depth understanding of Thomas Henry Huxley, as well as those interested in the broader implications of his scientific inquiries. Mitchell's reverent and thorough approach invites readers to appreciate not only Huxley's brilliance but also the enduring relevance of his ideas in contemporary discussions about science and humanity.
