France/China : Intercultural Imaginings Paperback / softback
by Alex Hughes
Paperback / softback
Description
China has long been an object of fascination for the French, who celebrated theirannee de la Chine in 2004.
Symptomatic of that fascination are the movements into China made by groups as diverse as the Jesuits, who arrived inL'Empire du Milieu in the late seventeenth century, and theTel Quel intellectuals, whose will to political pilgrimage took them to the People's Republic in 1974.
Symptomatic, too, are the narrative and visual representations of China offered by such as Pierre Loti, Victor Segalen, Paul Claudel, Michel Leiris, Simone de Beauvoir, Andre Malraux, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Marc Riboud.
In this penetrating study, Alex Hughes explores models of intercultural encounter between France and China elaborated in the modern French.
