The Promise and Peril of Things

More about the book

Wai-yee Li traces notions of the pleasures and dangers of things in the literature and thought of late imperial China. She considers core oppositions- people and things, elegance and vulgarity, real and fake, lost and found-to tease out the ambiguities of material culture.
