This book was released on 2018-05-19 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History and Description of Chinese Porcelain I cannot begin a preface to the last work of my much-regretted friend Mr. Cosmo Monkhouse without a word to express my deep feeling of his irreparable loss. The vanished hand will be more especially missed as that of a cultivated critic of the fascinating art of the Chinese potter. His loving appreciation of the decorative value of the porcelain of the Far East was fully shown in the scholarly introductions he wrote for the catalogues of the collections of Blue and White and Coloured Oriental Porcelains, which were exhibited at the Burlington Fine Arts Club in 1895 and 1896. No pen has ever painted more vividly the charm of the changes which the Chinese ring with varied tones of cobalt blue pulsating from the depths of a pellucid glaze; the brilliant ruby-like depth of the sang-de-boeuf and the soft sheen of the peau-de-pe'che, in which they have ennobled the copper silicates; or the perfect harmony of the pictures painted with delicate enamel colours upon a translucent egg-shell ground, which marks the cul minating point of their consummate mastery of the technique of the potter's art. But all these points are better emphasised in the pages of the book which it has been my privilege to look through before its publication. The text was really ready for the Press, and I have only ventured to add an occasional ex planatory note, always carefully initialed. The coloured plates were also finished, so that it only remained for me toselect a series of typical pieces for reproduction in black-and white, and to write a short description of the illustrations. There is such a wonderful exhibition of Chinese ceramic art at the present moment in the halls of the Victoria and Albert Museum at South Kensington that it must be my own fault if a fairly representative series is not presented here. I am sure that Mr. Monkhouse would not have been sparing in his thanks to Mr. G. Salting for the generous way in which he has placed his magnificent collection at our disposal, and to Mr. A. B. Skinner for the personal interest he has taken in furthering the preparation of the pictures. Acknowledgments are also due to M. Solon, foremost of art potters of the day, for kindly revising the proofs; so that any of the technical points involved may be taken without further question.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chinese Porcelain: Sixteenth-Century Coloured Illustrations With Chinese Ms. d104 In the romanization of Chinese characters Sir Thomas Wade's scheme of orthography has been followed here. It is the system of transliteration which has been adopted by Professor Giles in his large Chinese Dictionary, and by Mr. Goodrich in his invaluable Pocket Dictionary and Peking Syllabary, and it is now very generally accepted by Chinese scholars. The consonants are generally to be pronounced as in English, with the exception of j, which is nearly the French j in jaune, the English s in fusion or z in brazier. The initials ch, k, p, t, ts, tz, are either unaspirated or aspirated. When aspirated, the aspirate which intervenes between them and the vowel following is indicated by an apostrophe in preference to an h, lest the English reader should pronounce ph as in triumph, th as in month, and so on. To pronounce ch'a, drop the italicized letters in much-harm, for l'a, drop the italics in hit-hard. The initial hs, where a slight aspirant precedes and modifies the sibilant, is a peculiar sound of the Peking mandarin dialect which can only be acquired by practice. The vowels and diphthongs are to be pronounced as in Italian, in accordance with the following table. The last vowel sound u, which only occurs with the initials ss, tz, tz', has no equivalent in English. In the diphthongal sounds each of the vowels should be separately pronounced in the Italian fashion; thus, ai, nearly our aye, is better represented by the Italian ai, in hai, amai; ia, by the Italian ia in piazza; ie is pronounced as in the Italian siesta, niente, &c. In speaking, the words of the limited vocabulary of about five hundred monosyllabic sounds are differentiated into four tones, or musical intonations, but these may be disregarded in writing, although all-important colloquially.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem of translation has become increasingly central to critical reflections on modernity and its universalizing processes. Approaching translation as a symbolic and material exchange among peoples and civilizations—and not as a purely linguistic or literary matter, the essays in Tokens of Exchange focus on China and its interactions with the West to historicize an economy of translation. Rejecting the familiar regional approach to non-Western societies, contributors contend that “national histories” and “world history” must be read with absolute attention to the types of epistemological translatability that have been constructed among the various languages and cultures in modern times. By studying the production and circulation of meaning as value in areas including history, religion, language, law, visual art, music, and pedagogy, essays consider exchanges between Jesuit and Protestant missionaries and the Chinese between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries and focus on the interchanges occasioned by the spread of capitalism and imperialism. Concentrating on ideological reciprocity and nonreciprocity in science, medicine, and cultural pathologies, contributors also posit that such exchanges often lead to racialized and essentialized ideas about culture, sexuality, and nation. The collection turns to the role of language itself as a site of the universalization of knowledge in its contemplation of such processes as the invention of Basic English and the global teaching of the English language. By focusing on the moments wherein meaning-value is exchanged in the translation from one language to another, the essays highlight the circulation of the global in the local as they address the role played by historical translation in the universalizing processes of modernity and globalization. The collection will engage students and scholars of global cultural processes, Chinese studies, world history, literary studies, history of science, and anthropology, as well as cultural and postcolonial studies.
