The Promise and Peril of Things: Literature and Material Culture in Late Imperial China
Li, Wai-yee (Harvard University)
Wai-yee Li traces notions of the pleasures and dangers of things in the literature and thought of late imperial China. She considers core oppositions—people and things, elegance and vulgarity, real and fake, lost and found—to tease out the ambiguities of material culture.
