Hu Yang Bücher

Shanghai, die Metropole der Zukunft, 13 Millionen Einwohner, Schwindel erregender Wandel. Der Fotograf Hu Yang hat die privaten Räume und Rückzugorte der Menschen in der Megacity dokumentiert. Überfüllte Einraumwohnungen, Elendsquartiere, weitläufige Luxusappartments, Kolonialstil und modernes Design. In 14 Monaten hat er 500 Menschen aus allen Gesellschaftsschichten in ihren Wohnungen porträtiert, ihre Wohnverhältnisse, ihren Einrichtungsstil und ihre persönlichen Lebensentwürfe treffsicher herasugearbeitet. So ist im Zusammenspiel der Texte mit den Fotos ein hochinteressantes Panorama der Gesellschaft in Shanghai entstanden. Dieses Buch präsentiert eine Auswahl von 140 dieser Porträts.

Exploring how people negotiate and reconcile, construct and re-construct their distinctive gender and ethnic identities in a cross-cultural context, Hu examines what happens when two distinct cultures meet at the intimate interface of marriage and family. Chinese-British Intermarriage reveals how gender and ethnic identities intersect in distinctive ways in shaping the lived experiences of intermarried couples. Through the kaleidoscope of first-generation Chinese-British inter-ethnic families in the UK, the book brings together family, gender, migration and ethnic studies, reflecting on ongoing social processes such as individualisation and globalisation.

The time-honored Chinese civilization has nurtured the distinctive Chinesepublishing industry. To some extent, its formulation and development mimics that of Chinese civilization. Chinese civilization is unique in the world in itscontinuity. As a significant activity of knowledge accumulation and culturalinheritance, publishing has contributed greatly to the spread and inheritance of Chinese civilization. In the past thousands of years, Chinese civilizationhas spread all over the world with books as carriers and has taken asignificant part in the development of world culture by constructing the Asian Confucianism civilization circle.
