Krása a moc / Beauty and Power
Vizuální prameny představují jeden ze základních zdrojů ke studiu historie. Jsou neocenitelným pramenem informací pro dějiny odívání. Tato práce se zabývá zobrazováním oděvu v čínském tradičním malířství a na historických fotografiích. Představuje svitkové obrazy z období dynastie Čching (1644–1911) a fotografie z druhé poloviny 19.století a počátku 20. století z fondu Náprstkova muzea.

Using the concept of “self-feminizing”—adoption of a feminine identity to oblige and achieve mutual caring as a relational strategy—this book argues that postcolonial actors have employed gendered identities in order to survive the squeezing pressure of globalization and nationalism in their own ways. Sovereign actors who have historically claimed to act on behalf of Chineseness have taken advantage of the images of femininity thrust upon them by transnational capitalism, the...
