Condition: as new. Honolulu, Hawaii : University of Hawai'i Press, 2007. Hardcover. Dustjacket. 296 pp. English text. Condition : as new. - For many in the west, "Shanghai" is the quintessence of East Asian modernity, whether imagined as glamorous and exciting, corrupt and impoverishing, or a complex synthesis of the good, the b…ad, and the ugly. How did "Shanghai" acquire this power? How did people across China and around the world decide that Shanghai was the place to be? Mediasphere Shanghai shows that partial answers to these questions can be found in the products of Shanghai's media industry, particularly the Shanghai novel, a distinctive genre of installment fiction that flourished from the 1890s to the 1930s. Shanghai fiction supplies not only the imagery that we now consider typical of the city, but, more significantly, the very formsâ simultaneity, interruption, mediation, and excessâ through which the city could be experienced as a business and entertainment center and envisioned as the focal point of a mediasphere with a national and transnational reach. Existing paradigms of Shanghai culture tend to explain the city's distinctive literary and visual aesthetics as merely the predictable result of economic conditions and social processes, but Alexander Des Forges maintains that literary texts and other cultural products themselves constitute a conceptual foundation for the city and construct the frame through which it is perceived. Condition : as new copy. ISBN 9780824830816. Keywords : .

Digital download. Condition: New. The civil service examination essay known as shiwen (modern or contemporary prose) or bagu wen (eight-legged essay) for its complex structure was the most widely read and written literary genre in early modern China (1450-1850). As the primary mode of expression in which educated individuals wer…e schooled, shiwen epitomized the literary enterprise even beyond the walls of the examination compound. But shiwen suffered condemnation in the shift in discourse on literary writing that followed the fall of the Ming dynasty, and were thoroughly rejected in the May Fourth iconoclasm of the early twentieth century. Challenging conventional disregard for the genre, Alexander Des Forges reads the examination essay from a literary perspective, showing how shiwen redefined prose aesthetics and transformed the work of writing. A new approach to subjectivity took shape: the question "who is speaking?" resonated through the essays' involuted prose style, foregrounding issues of agency and control. At the same time, the anonymity of the bureaucratic evaluation process highlighted originality as a literary value. Finally, an emphasis on questions of form marked the aesthetic as a key arena for contestation of authority as candidates, examiners, and critics joined to form a dominant social class of literary producers.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - This is a Call for All Christians to Step Aside and Allow the Holy Spirit Back in His Rightful Place Upfront and Leading the Way but unfortunately today, we have too many times silenced The Holy Spirit, changing His role from general partner to the silent partner. Seldom do we involve Him i…n the day-to-day business called our lives. We have limited the power of the Holy Spirit and have casted Him to the background and in the process, increased our power. We are now the shot caller and concede to no one. Reliance on the Holy Spirit worked for the first century Christians. We have to remember that the early disciples were ordinary unschooled men but they did something we strive to do today. They evangelized the whole world in their time. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Alexandre is a follower of Jesus Christ, a husband to his best friend and wife Melissa, a father to his two sons Alexandre Jr. ('AJ') (5yrs old) and Christopher (7 months old). Alexandre has served six years as a minister, and is currently pursuing his Ph.D. in Counseling. Alexandre maintains a positive outlook on life and always sees the glass half-full. He is a member of Toastmasters International and serves as President at his local club. Alexandre is a firm believer in second and third chances and sponsors a Gavel Club (affiliate of Toastmasters International) inside Florida's prison system. This club educates inmates on the skills of public speaking and preparatory professionalism for post incarceration success after their release back into society. Alexandre wants to make a difference in this world through caring, serving and teaching, just as Christ did during His time on earth.
