Chinese calligraphy has traditionally been an emblem of the ruling class and its authority. After a century of mass revolution, what is the fate of this elite art? Richard Kraus explores the relationship beween politics and the art of writing in China today to explicate the complex relationship between tradition and modernity in Chinese culture. His study draws upon a wide range of sources, from political documents, memoirs, and interviews with Chinese intellectuals to art exhibitions and television melodramas.Mao Zedong and other Communist leaders gave calligraphy a revolutionary role, believing that their beloved art reflected the luster of authoritative words and deeds. Calligraphy was joined with new propagandistic mass media to become less a private art and more a public performance. It provided politically engaged citizens with subtle cues to changing power relationships in the People's Republic.Claiming neither that the Communists obliterated traditional culture nor that revolution failed to relieve the burden of China's past, this study subtly examines the changing uses of tradition in a modernizing society.

Wendy Lesser maakt in dit boek brandhout van de stelling dat mannen in kunstwerken, zij het boeken, films, schilderijen, foto's ..., onvermijdelijk een verkeerde voorstelling van vrouwen maken. Voor haar bewijsvoering gebruikt ze onder meer de naakten van de Franse impressionist Degas en de films van Hitchock. Lesser stelt eveneens dat er inzake voorstelling van vrouwbeelden in kunstwerken niet zoiets bestaat als de categorieën mannelijk en vrouwelijk en dat nuances wat dit betreft dwars door de scheidslijn man/vrouw lopen. Gebruik makend van concepten uit de psychoanalyse pleit Lesser voor kunstvormen waarin de tegenstelling man/vrouw wordt weggewerkt en overstegen.
