Transmedial Landscapes and Modern Chinese Painting shines a spotlight on the mid-1930s, a period of intense productivity in which Chinese artists created an enormous number of artworks and theoretical texts. The book focuses on the works of three seminal artists, Huang Binhong, He Tianjian, and Yu Jianhua, facilitating fresh insights into this formative stage of their careers and into their collaborations in artworks and publications. In a nuanced reading of paintings, photographs, and literary and theoretical texts, the author shows how artworks and discussions about the future of ink painting were intimately linked to the reshaping of the country through infrastructure development and tourism, thus leading to the creation of a uniquely modern Chinese landscape imagery"--

Die Entdeckung Ägyptens als touristisches Ziel war begleitet von einer reichen Produktion fotografischer Bilder. Diese hatten mit der Lebenswirklichkeit der Bewohner Ägyptens kaum mehr etwas zu tun, umso mehr aber mit den Phantasien und Phantasmen der westlichen Touristen. Die Aufnahmen stammten alle aus den Ateliers auswärtiger Fotografen und zeigten nach dem Prinzip des Orientalismus das, wodurch sich die traditionelle muslimische Kultur von der westlichen unterschied. Ein besonders beliebtes Motiv waren die Haremsfenster oder Mashrabiyas, die das Erscheinungsbild der traditionellen Stadtviertel Kairos prägten. Die an den privaten Wohnräumen angebrachten Erker erlaubten es den Frauen, das Treiben im Hof und auf der Straße zu beobachten, ohne dabei selbst gesehen zu werden. Für die Fotografen wurde der architektonische Schleier zu einem emblematischen Zeichen, das den Orient als solchen charakterisierte.

In Vanuatu, commoditization and revitalization of culture and the arts do not necessarily work against each other; both revolve around value formation and the authentication of things. This book investigates the meaning and value of (art) objects as commodities in differing states of transit and transition: in the local place, on the market, in the museum. It provides an ethnographic account of commoditization in a context of revitalization of culture and the arts in Vanuatu, and the issues this generates, such as authentication of actions and things, indigenized copyright, and kastom disputes over ownership and the nature of kastom itself.
