Through analyses of works by Claudel, Pound, Kafka, Benjamin, Segalen, and Valery, among others, Christopher Bush traces the interweaving of Western modernity's ethnographic and technological imaginaries, in which the cultural effects of technological media assumed \"Chinese\" forms, even as traditional representations of \"the Orient\" lived on in modernist-era responses to media. The book also makes a methodological argument, demonstrating new ways of recovering the generally overlooked presence of China in the text of Western modernism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Bush\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199926603\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199926602\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/07\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.60d","brand":"Christopher Bush","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44598221111551,"sku":"9780199926602","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_20404b72-b289-4246-9057-02390e72f28b.jpg?v=1702381276","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ideographic-modernism-christopher-bush-9780199926602","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
