Water Moon Reflections

Essays in Honor of Patricia Berger

About this book

Spanning two millennia and East and Inner Asia, this volume's essays highlight Patricia Berger's vast range of expertise as well as general themes that run through her work. Topics include art's relationship to political power and collective memory, the cultural and material fluency of Qing objects and texts, multiplicity and self-fashioning through portraiture and dance, and conformity and authority in relation to selfhood and modern and contemporary art.
