Abstract

"Chinese artist Xu Bing presents a new graphic novel--one composed entirely of symbols and icons. Xu Bing spent seven years gathering materials, experimenting, revising, and arranging thousands of pictograms to construct this narrative. The result is a readable story without words recording 24 hours in the day of the life of a typical urban white-collar worker. Using an exclusively visual language, the text could be published anywhere without translation"--Back cover.

Abstract

The Flexible Imagination: At Work in the Transnational Corporate Offices of Jakarta, is a behind-the-scenes ethnography examining the social interactions between employees from different cultural and national backgrounds who work together for several notorious Fortune 500 corporations out of Southeast Asia. It describes how people cope with unfamiliar surroundings and the mundane-ness of office work through a select use of historical, cultural, and economic imaginaries.
