Zusammenfassung: | Reinventing Licentiousness navigates an overlooked history of representation during the transition from the Qing Empire to the Chinese Republic-a time when older, hierarchal notions of licentiousness were overlaid by a new, pornographic regime. Y. Yvon Wang draws on previously untapped archives-ranging from police archives and surveys to ephemeral texts and pictures-arguing that pornography in China represents a unique configuration of power and desire which both reflects and shapes historical processes. On the one hand, since the late imperial period, it has democratized pleasure in China and opened up new possibilities of imagining desire. On the other, ongoing controversies over its definition and control show how the regulatory ideas of premodern cultural politics and the popular products of early modern cultural markets have contoured the globalized world. Reinventing Licentiousness emphasizes the material factors, particularly at the grassroots level of consumption and trade, that governed "proper" sexual desire and led to ideological shifts around the definition of pornography. By linking the past to the present and beyond, Wang's social and intellectual history showcases circulated pornographic material as a motor for cultural change. The result is an astonishing foray into what historicizing pornography can mean for our understandings of desire, legitimacy, capitalism, and culture |

Yvon Wang Ithaca ; London Cornell University Press [2021] © 2021 1 Online-Ressource (306 Seiten) Illustrationen txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Reinventing Licentiousness navigates an overlooked history of representation during the transition from the Qing Empire to the Chinese Republic-a time when older, hierarchal notions of licentiousness were overlaid by a new, pornographic regime. Y. Yvon Wang draws on previously untapped archives-ranging from police archives and surveys to ephemeral texts and pictures-arguing that pornography in China represents a unique configuration of power and desire which both reflects and shapes historical processes. On the one hand, since the late imperial period, it has democratized pleasure in China and opened up new possibilities of imagining desire. On the other, ongoing controversies over its definition and control show how the regulatory ideas of premodern cultural politics and the popular products of early modern cultural markets have contoured the globalized world. Reinventing Licentiousness emphasizes the material factors, particularly at the grassroots level of consumption and trade, that governed "proper" sexual desire and led to ideological shifts around the definition of pornography. By linking the past to the present and beyond, Wang's social and intellectual history showcases circulated pornographic material as a motor for cultural change. The result is an astonishing foray into what historicizing pornography can mean for our understandings of desire, legitimacy, capitalism, and culture Geschichte 1900-1937 gnd rswk-swf Asian Studies Cultural Studies Gender Studies SOCIAL SCIENCE / Pornography bisacsh Pornography Economic aspects China History 19th century Pornography Economic aspects China History 20th century Pornography Social aspects China History 19th century Pornography Social aspects China History 20th century Sexology China History Pornografie (DE-588)4046809-4 gnd rswk-swf Peking (DE-588)4075971-4 gnd rswk-swf Peking (DE-588)4075971-4 g Pornografie (DE-588)4046809-4 s Geschichte 1900-1937 z DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 978-1-5017-5297-1 https://doi.org/10.1515/9781501752995 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
