Format: Paperback

Condition: Very Good — £8.27
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

"Shanzhai" es un neologismo chino que refiere a la apropiación de una forma o una idea, desestimando su estatus de originalidad. Un shanzhai es un fake, una copia pirata, una parodia. Aplicado en un principio a las falsificaciones de productos electrónicos y marcas de ropa, este concepto hoy abarca todos los terrenos de la vida en China: hay arquitectura shanzhai, comida shanzhai, diputados shanzhai y hasta estrellas del espectáculo shanzhai. En tanto su atractivo radica precisamente en la variación funcional e ingeniosa, son mucho más que meras falsificaciones baratas. No pretenden engañar a nadie. Su capacidad de innovación, que es innegable, no se define por el genio o la creación ex nihilo, sino por ser parte de un proceso anónimo y continuado de combinación y mutación. A partir de la elaboración de este y de otros conceptos presentes en la larga tradición del arte chino así como en el budismo o el taoísmo, el autor revela en este ensayo algunas claves para comprender los diferentes posicionamientos de Oriente y Occidente frente a problemáticas contemporáneas tales como las leyes de propiedad intelectual, la conservación patrimonial o la clonación. A la creencia occidental en la inmutabilidad y la permanencia de la sustancia, se corresponde una noción de autoría y originalidad: el ser es igual a sí mismo y por ello toda reproducción tiene algo de demoníaco, que destruye la identidad y la pureza primarias. El pensamiento chino, en cambio, es deconstructivo desde sus comienzos, prescinde de toda idea de ser y esencia. Frente a la identidad, reivindica la diferencia transformadora; frente al ser, el camino.--Back cover.
