{"product_id":"asian-self-representation-at-worlds-fairs-william-peterson-9789462985636","title":"Asian Self-Representation at World's Fairs","description":"International expositions or \"world's fairs\" are the largest and most important stage on which millions routinely gather to directly experience, express, and respond to cultural difference. Rather than looking at Asian representation at the hands of colonizing powers, something already much examined, \u003ccite\u003eAsian Self-Representation at World's Fairs\u003c\/cite\u003e instead focuses on expressions of an empowered Asian self-representation at world's fairs in the West after the so-called golden age of the exhibition. New modes of representation became possible as the older \"exhibitionary order\" of earlier fairs gave way to a dominant \"performative order,\" one increasingly preoccupied with generating experience and affect. Using case studies of national representation at selected fairs over the hundred-year period from 1915-2015, this book considers both the politics of representation as well as what happens within the imaginative worlds of Asian country pavilions, where the performative has become the dominant mode for imprinting directly on human bodies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Peterson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9462985634\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789462985636\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amsterdam University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/18\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"William Peterson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43942679281919,"sku":"9789462985636","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_60c9d832-545d-4ba6-8391-e25973fa7855.jpg?v=1681493730","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/asian-self-representation-at-worlds-fairs-william-peterson-9789462985636","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
