| الوصف: | "One of the first full-length ethnographics of a Chinese martial arts association, this book tackles the general question of how human beings form viewpoints of themselves and others through the practice of an art - in this case, the art of taijiquan or "tai chi." The first half of the book focuses on the author's own experience studying taijiquan with teachers in the People's Republic of China and the United States. The discussion then expands to address taijiquan in the context of urban China, taijiquan as a national symbol, and taijiquan as an example of globalized "Chineseness." Drawing on recent literature on the social construction of identity, on the phenomenology of ethnicity, and on globalization, the author discusses taijiquan in terms of sensual experience and the transmission or acquisition of knowledge."--Jacket. |
