Each year in the United States, millions of mass-produced greeting cards proclaim their occasional messages: "For My Loving Daughter," "On the Occasion of Your Marriage," and "It's a Boy!" For more than 150 years, greeting cards have tapped into and organized a shared language of love, affection, and kinship, becoming an integral part of American life and culture. Contemporary incarnations of these emotional transactions performed through small bits of decorated paper are often dismissed as vacuous cliches employing worn-out stereotypes. Nevertheless, the relationship of greeting cards to systems of material production is well worth studying and understanding, for the modern greeting card is the product of an industry whose values and aims seem to contradict the sentiments that most cards express. In fact, greeting cards articulate shifting forms of love and affiliation experienced by people whose lives have been shaped by the major economic changes of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. A Token of My Affection shows in fascinating detail how the evolution of the greeting card reveals the fundamental power of economic organization to enable and constrain experiences of longing, status, desire, social connectedness, and love and to structure and partially determine the most private, internal, and intimate of feelings.Beautifully illustrated, A Token of My Affection follows the development of the modern greeting card industry from the 1840s, as a way of recovering that most elusive of things -- the emotional subjectivity of another age. Barry Shank charts the evolution of the greeting card from an afterthought to a traditional printing and stationery business in the mid-nineteenth century to a multibillion-dollar industry a hundred years later. He explains what an industry devoted to emotional sincerity means for the lives of all Americans. Blending archival research in business history with a study of surviving artifacts and a literary analysis of a broad range of relevant texts and primary sources, Shank demonstrates the power of business to affect love and the ability of love to find its way in the marketplace of consumer society.

論西方的中國電影批評 尼剋•布朗(文) 劉宇清(譯) 在中國電影百年誕辰慶典這樣的情境下,想要放任自己對中國電影特殊的熱情是很有意思的。中國電影在剛剛過去的二、三十年時間裏取得瞭顯著的成就,不僅數量巨大而且意義深遠。各種學術性的甚至娛樂性的文章的發錶、書...
評分周蕾之貢獻很大程度上在於她在激烈且殘忍的後殖民文論和研究中走齣瞭一條既挑戰西方又挑戰中國的二重後殖民批判路徑。這條路徑從眾多印度學者所引領的後殖民研究中雖然並不鮮見,但是就中國殖民史之特殊性來說,著實也不適閤直接搬運印度後殖民研究的一些思路。周蕾書寫的時間...

東西方關係中的原初主義問題不僅僅限於西方對非西方的剝奪,在「第三世界」中同樣也存在一種相似的原初化的運動——這裡所抓取的原始材料乃是社會上受壓迫的階級——特別是女性——她們構成瞭一種新文學的首要組成部分。從這個意義上來說,在中國,受過教育的知識分子像世界上其他地方的精英一樣,在弱勢群體中發現瞭令人迷戀的源泉,它能夠幫助知識分子在主題和形式上激活、復興其文化生產。正如西方現代主義小說傢在利用「原初」情慾來探索和伸張他們所認為的普遍的基本人性;現代中國作傢,包括鴛鴦蝴蝶派和五四作傢羣,也以同樣的方式來書寫關於女人和隸屬羣體的故事,將其原初化。這樣,「原初主義」指嚮瞭被有意識種族化、國族化的人性道義方式。
