Lu (comparative literature, U. of California, Davis) takes an interesting interdisciplinary approach to the study of Chinese modernity, starting from the traditions of the late nineteenth century up to today. As he advances in time he also advances in technology, starting with art and literature and working through photography, film and computer media. He notes that as time progressed male and female bodies and their pleasures became open topics, and the physical self became not only an object of perusal but also more intensely subjective. He duly considers the socialist lifestyle and its influence upon the spirit and sense of literature and the arts, and examines Chinese urban and artistic space in terms of the social and political demands of China's governance. He also comments upon how globalization and the rising Chinese economy have brought art into commercial and popular culture. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
