…just cos they’re useful links that I want to record, but haven’t got the time to organise them into categories, etc (some date from as far back as February. You’ve got to get a grip girl!).
Frog in a Well’s really interesting discussion of the semantics of, and the history of, the western usage of the term ‘peasant’ with reference to China.
The Chinese media completely overreacting to poor reviews of The First Emperor carried in the American press, an opera starring Placido Domingo as Qin Shihuangdi, as told by Jeremiah at The Peking Duck.
A bewildering response to environmental concerns as reported by The Guardian (via Expresso Served Here).
- and finally (for now, at least):
A review of Jane Portal’s Art Under Control in North Korea posted on Museum Anthropology Review (via Museum Anthropology). I’ve got this, but I haven’t yet got around to reading very much of it (another of those ubiquitous ‘books on the go’).
More links tomorrow…maybe.
