    This book is about the losers of the Meiji Restoration and the supporters who promoted their legacy.

  • - The Religious Landscape of the Southern Sacred Peak (Nanyue ) in Medieval China
    af James Robson
    615,95 kr.

    Mountains have always been integral components of China's religious landscape. Early in Chinese history five mountains were co-opted into the imperial cult and declared sacred peaks-yue-demarcating and protecting the imperium's boundaries. Here, Robson demonstrates the value of local and Buddho-Daoist studies in research on Chinese religion.

    af David Johnson

  • - Chinese Poetry of the Mid-Ninth Century (827-860)
    af Stephen Owen
    208,95 kr.

    Owen analyzes the redirection of poetry following the deaths of the major poets of the High and Mid-Tang and the rejection of their poetic styles. In the Late Tang, the poetic past was beginning to assume the form it would have for the next millennium-a repertoire of styles, genres, and the voices of past poets.

  • - Women's Rights in Meiji Japan
    af Marnie S. Anderson
    371,95 kr.

    Anderson argues that shifts in the gender system during the early Meiji period had mixed consequences for Japanese women. Women gained access to the chance to represent themselves and play a limited political role, but were permitted political participation only as an expression of "citizenship through the household."

    af Peter Mauch
    371,95 kr.

    This biography casts new light on the life and career of Admiral Nomura Kichisaburo.

    af Rachel DiNitto

    The literary career of Uchida Hyakken (1889-1971) encompassed a wide variety of styles and genres. This book takes up Hyakken's fiction and essays written during Japan's prewar years to investigate the intersection of his literature with the material and discursive surroundings of the time.

    af Hilde De Weerdt
    468,95 kr.

    De Weerdt examines how occupational, political, and intellectual groups shaped curricular standards and examination criteria during the Southern Song dynasty (1127-1279), and how these standards in turn shaped political and intellectual agendas.

  • af Flagg Miller
    229,50 kr.

    This book studies contemporary Arab political poetry, providing insights into how modern Arab media forms are shaped by language and culture.

    This study of poetry composed between the end of the first century B.C.E. and the third century C.E. examines extant material synchronically, as if it were not historically arranged.

    Founded in the 1820s, the Xuehaitang (Sea of Learning Hall) was a premier academy of its time.

    af Zwia Lipkin
    468,95 kr.

    Underlying Nanjing's 1930s policies was a concern for the capital's image-offensive people were allowed to exist as long as they remained invisible. Lipkin exposes the process of social engineering and the ways in which the suppressed reacted to their abuse; he puts the poor at the center of the picture, defying efforts to make them invisible.

  • - Marriage, the Market, and State Power in Southeastern China
    af Sara L. Friedman
    446,95 kr.

    Distinctive female dress styles, gender divisions of labor, and powerful same-sex networks have long distinguished villages in this coastal region of southeastern China from other rural Han communities. Intimate Politics explores these practices that have constituted eastern Hui'an residents, women in particular, as an anomaly among rural Han.

  • - Actors and Their Art
    af Eric C. Rath
    183,95 kr.

    Roth explores the role of traditions in the institutional development of the noh theater from the 14th century-late 20th century. He focuses on the development of key traditions that constitute the "ethos of noh," the ideology that empowered certain groups of actors at the expense of others, and how this ethos fostered noh's professionalization.

    af Emma Jinhua Teng
    198,95 kr.

    The incorporation of Taiwan into the Qing empire in the 17th century and its evolution into a province by the late 19th century involved not only a reconsideration of imperial geography but also a reconceptualization of the Chinese domain. Here, Teng takes the view of Taiwan-China relations as a product of the history of Qing expansionism.

  • - Architecture, Domestic Space, and Bourgeois Culture, 1880-1930
    af Jordan Sand
    318,95 kr.

    A house is a site, the bounds and focus of a community. It is also an artifact, a material extension of its occupants' lives. This book takes the Japanese house in both senses, as site and as artifact, and explores the spaces, commodities, and conceptions of community associated with it in the modern era.

  • - Parliamentarianism and the National Public Sphere in Early Meiji Japan
    af Kyu Hyun Kim
    446,95 kr.

    The Meiji Restoration of 1868 inaugurated a period of great change in Japan; it is seldom associated, however, with advances in civil and political rights. By studying parliamentarianism-the theories, arguments, and polemics marshaled in support of a representative system of government-Kim uncovers a much more complicated picture of this era.
