Chang Jung: Fly, Wild Swans

Fly, Wild Swans

My Mother, Myself and China

This book is about something special that we all desire - love. And it is also a book about what keeps us apart - the desire to be seen but being unwilling to do what needs to be done to see. This book will change your life. It wull give you all the wings you need to fly again.

His friends called him V. He used to feel intimidated by the fashion world but he got over it. He designed his first Louis Vuitton collection in three hours. He cared more about pageantry than clothes. He wasn’t precious about his ideas. He sometimes made work and added the meaning later. He contradicted himself all the time but he saw no problem with that. Fashion for him was one big art project, and also kind of a joke. He believed in God. He believed in logos. He thought insisting on novelty in fashion was farcical; a critique meant to keep people like him out. Some nights when he couldn’t sleep he wondered how people would remember him once he was gone. Virgil Abloh, who died unexpectedly in 2021 at age 41, defied categorization. Born in Rockford, Illinois to Ghanaian immigrants, he learned to sew as child, studied civil engineering in college and then architecture in graduate school. He entered the world of fashion sideways, without formal training, upsetting the status quo first with the stratospheric success of Off-White and then with his appointment as Artistic Director of menswear at Louis Vuitton. He pierced the divisions between pop culture and couture, fashion, music, and design, and was as influenced by Marcel Duchamp and Mies van der Rohe, Albert Murray, Rammellzee, Drake, DJ Benji B, Kylie Jenner, and Bella Hadid, as by the storied histories of high fashion houses. He was fascinated by the commodification of culture and the dialectic between appropriation and reappropriation, between ‘high’ and ‘low’. He admired the ready-made and the imitative for the way in which they force you to think carefully about the context in which they were created. He felt originality was a sham, and saw clearly the way Fashion, with a capital F, depends on the policing of who is allowed the mantle of ‘genius’. The establishment bridled at his approach even as they celebrated his work. He, in turn, understood that people wanted him to be a symbol, to fit an idea of the Black Designer, but he refused any kind of easy definition. Here, in Work in Progress, is a blueprint for a way to live, a conversation between friends, a challenge to any idea of black and white thinking. A portrait of an iconoclast, WORK IN PROGRESS takes us inside the mind of one of the most visionary and transformational designers of our time.

War, Culture and Society

Through an in-depth analysis of wartime essays and literary works, Literature and Cultural Identity during the Korean War considers the similarities and differences in the way that writers from both North and South Korea perceived and experienced the conflict. 

In this book, Jerôme de Wit examines the social impact of major themes in the output of these writers, such as the notion of collaboration, the portrayal of the enemy and heroes, and the role of women during war, to further our understanding of the wartime identities that were constructed by the two Koreas. The result is a nuanced and enlightening study which provides a base for a full exploration of the role culture in the formation of North and South Korean states.

Until now, most studies have tended to focus on the Korean War's role in big power relations or on Korea's role in Cold War history. Literature and Cultural Identity during the Korean War demonstrates that the struggle was simultaneously an international 'total' war as well as a civil one. It is an important study for anyone interested in the literature and culture of the Korean War.

A Memoir

Fire in Every Direction

DER KRIEG IN DER UKRAINE UND DIE HERAUSFORDERUNG DES WESTENS 
 
 Der verbrecherische Angriff des russischen Präsidenten Vladimir Putin auf die Ukraine hat den gesamten Westen im Visier: Neben der Unterwerfung Kiews geht es in letzter Konsequenz auch um die Schubumkehr der demokratischen Transformation in Mittel- und Osteuropa, die Neutralisierung Westeuropas und den Hinauswurf der USA aus Europa. Constanze Stelzenmüller zeigt, wie der mit einer historischen Katastrophe konfrontierte Westen die Ukraine und sich selbst verteidigt - und sie beschreibt, was noch geschehen muss, damit das auch gelingt. 
 
 Motive für diesen Krieg finden sich nicht nur in den neoimperialen Fantasien des Kremlautokraten, sondern auch in tiefen transatlantischen und innereuropäischen Zerwürfnissen der vergangenen Jahre. Befeuert wurden sie nicht zuletzt in den eigenen Dekadenzerzählungen des Westens, beflügelt vom Aufkommen illiberaler, antidemokratischer Bewegungen. Noch im Vorjahr hatte der überstürzte Abzug aus Afghanistan die Vorstellung vom geographischen Westen als Werte- und Verteidigungsgemeinschaft mit globaler Strahlkraft Lügen gestraft. Die Expertin für Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik Constanze Stelzenmüller analysiert, was Putins Krieg für den Westen bedeutet, insbesondere für Deutschland und Europa. Unsere offenen, liberalen und voneinander abhängigen Demokratien verteidigen, heißt: das eigene Haus in Ordnung bringen; in Europa, im Bündnis und in der Welt für einander einstehen; und durchsetzungsfähiger werden gegenüber autokratischen Mächten wie Russland und China.

Counselling and Therapy in China

Demonstrating a wide array of influences-from Chinese calligraphy to Expressionism-Liu Wei's work deals with universal themes of humanity. With a career spanning over thirty years, he has proved a master of rendering human flesh and combining figuration with text and abstraction. Liu Wei's deft grasp of technique and acute awareness of color and composition is evident in his lush landscapes, in which flora and fauna often escape the confines of the canvas and spill out onto the Rococo-style frames. Featuring texts by distinguished specialists in contemporary Chinese art, this first major English-language monograph provides an in-depth look at the historical context and traces his development from his early paintings reflecting disenchantment with political and artistic utopias through the lenses of skepticism and satire, to lush landscapes, striking portraits, and more recent philosophic and contemplative calligraphic works on paper. LIU WEI (*1965, Beijing), studied printmaking at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, where he still lives today. He first rose to prominence as a preeminent figure in China's "cynical realism" movement of the 1990s. His paintings have been shown in museum exhibitions and biennials worldwide, including the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, the Singapore Art Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Venice Biennale.
