English | 2025 | ISBN: 9819654033 | 269 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 12 MB
This book is about the intimacy and shared changes of life in domestic nature cultivation in Beijing. It asks a simple question: how do people express themselves when the state control on communication is severely tightened and the public space is increasingly replaced by the marketplace? By bringing to the fore an ethnography of the rise of Flora and Fauna-the aesthetic practice of cultivating nature at home-this book tends to the transformation of the classic Chinese practice of collecting, shoucang, and tells how, against a retreating horizon of free speech, a symbolism of nature arises as anchor for affective commentaries on history, the self, and politics. With the poetics of nature becoming forms of expressive culture, this book charts the domestic as politically charged space wherein aesthetic sovereignty is negotiated. Flora and Fauna urges us to reconsider the aesthetics of nature and politics of domestication, amid the tremendous social transformation annotated by market crises in China today.
