Shanghai, long known as mainland China’s most cosmopolitan city, is today a global cultural capital. This book offers the first in-depth examination of contemporary Shanghai-based art and design – from state-sponsored exhibitions to fashionable cultural complexes to cutting edge films and installations. Informed by years of in-situ research, the book looks beyond contemporary art’s global hype to reveal the socio-political tensions accompanying Shanghai’s transitions from semi-colonial capitalism to Maoist socialism to Communist Party-sponsored capitalism. Case studies reveal how Shanghai’s global aesthetic constructs glamorising artifices that mask the conflicts between vying notions of foreign-influenced modernity and anti-colonialist nationalism, as well as the city’s repressed socialist past and its consumerist present. -- .

Tapa dura. Etat : Bien. Manchester University Press, First edition, 2003. Texto en inglés. Una colección de ensayos que considera las novelas y películas de James Bond en relación con sus contextos históricos, políticos y sociales desde el período de la Guerra Fría, y también examina el clásico canon de Bond a partir de una serie de perspectivas teóricas. 268 páginas salpicadas con fotografías b/n. 21 x 14. Tapa blanda de editorial ilustrada. Sin subrayados ni anotaciones. Perfecto estado de conservación. ISBN: 0719065410. Sean Connery's tuxedo, Ursula Andress' bikini, Oddjob's bowler hat, and Q's gadgets are just a few defining features of the 007 world examined in The James Bond Phenomenon. Drawn from the fields of literary, film, music, and cultural studies, the essays in this collection range from revitalized readings of Ian Fleming's original spy novels to the analysis of Pussy Galores lesbianism, Miss Moneypennys filmic feminism, and Pierce Brosna's techno fetishism. Together, the essays not only consider the James Bond novels and films in relation to their historical, political, and social contexts from the cold-war period forward, but also examine the classic Bond canon from an array of theoretical perspectives.
