Using materials associated with these events, including primarily literature, as well as maps, political treatises, historiography, plays, film, and art, the book argues that in addition to redirecting the flow of Chinese history, revolutionary movements operate in and on space in three main ways: maintaining territorial sovereignty, redefining social relations, and governing an imaginary realm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArguing for reconsideration of revolution as a reorganization of space as much as time, this book will appeal to students and scholars of Chinese culture, society, history and literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Enhua Zhang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138101648\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138101647\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/02\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 0.80d","brand":"Enhua Zhang","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48113266065663,"sku":"9781138101647","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a4c165af-997b-454f-bcc0-72a68fdd1751.jpg?v=1769613976","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/space-politics-and-cultural-representation-enhua-zhang-9781138101647","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
