About this book

Strategien der Wiederverwendung und des Recyclings von Materialien und Objekten aus China verfĂŒgen ĂŒber eine lange Tradition in Kunst, Kunsthandwerk und Design. Das Buch untersucht, wie KĂŒnstler*innen, Kunsthandwerker*innen und Designer*innen unerwĂŒnschte, benutzte und entsorgte Materialien und Objekte neu bewerten und kreativ weiterverarbeiten. Die BeitrĂ€ge prĂ€sentieren aktuelle Forschung zur materiellen Kultur Chinas – eines der LĂ€nder, das in der Produktion und Aufnahme von Abfall weltweit fĂŒhrend ist – im globalen Kontext. Sie betrachten Kunst, Kunsthandwerk und Design aus einer ökokritischen Perspektive und beleuchten den z.T. radikalen Bedeutungswandel von Objekten, die historische und kulturelle Grenzen ĂŒberschreiten.


"A captivating account of the cycles of use, waste and reinvention that animate modern and contemporary China. The authors capture the dexterity of artists and craftspeople who imagine, picture, signify, fashion and terraform the aesthetic dimension. With vivid detail, the chapters highlight the ingenuity of Chinese material culture in the complexity of its global circulation and planetary transformation. (Re)Made is a necessary volume for anyone seeking to inform their perspective of China's impact on today's political ecologies."
