Remains of the Everyday traces the changing material culture and industrial ecology of China through the lens of recycling. Over the last century, waste recovery and secondhand goods markets have been integral to Beijing’s economic functioning and cultural identity, and acts of recycling have figured centrally in the ideological imagination of modernity and citizenship. On the one hand, the Chinese state has repeatedly promoted acts of voluntary recycling as exemplary of conscientious citizenship. On the other, informal recycling networks—from the night soil carriers of the Republican era to the collectors of plastic and cardboard in Beijing’s neighborhoods today—have been represented as undisciplined, polluting, and technologically primitive due to the municipal government’s failure to control them. The result, Joshua Goldstein argues, is the repeatedly re-inscribed exclusion of waste workers from formations of modern urban citizenship as well as the intrinsic liminality of recycling itself as an economic process.

Finns det en effektiv, säker och fossilfri energikälla som kan hjälpa oss att stoppa koldioxidutsläppen? Och i så fall varför satsar vi inte på denna chans att hejda den globala uppvärmningen? Klimatförändringarna är en ödesfråga för mänskligheten.Över hela världen tas initiativ för en långsiktigt hållbar energiproduktion. Men chanserna att vända utvecklingen med 100 procent förnybar energi är små. I denna bok visar författarna hur redan befintlig teknik drastiskt kan minska mänsklighetens klimatpåverkan. Gamla rädslor och föråldrade föreställningar måste omvärderas i grunden, inte minst i föregångslandet Sverige. Denna utgåva är kompletterad och beskriver utförligt svenska förhållanden. Klimatnyckeln har potentialen att frigöra de låsta positionerna och bana väg för en ny energipolitik som, med Steven Pinkers ord från bokens förord, kan rädda världen. en framkomlig väg för mänskligheten, med Sverige, Frankrike och den kanadensiska delstaten Ontario som förebilder.

In this colorful and detailed history, Joshua Goldstein describes the formation of the Peking opera in late Qing and its subsequent rise and re-creation as the epitome of the Chinese national culture in Republican era China. Providing a fascinating look into the lives of some of the opera's key actors, he explores their methods for earning a living; their status in an ever-changing society; the methods by which theaters functioned; the nature and content of performances; audience make-up; and the larger relationship between Peking opera and Chinese nationalism. Propelled by a synergy of the commercial and the political patronage from the Qing court in Beijing to modern theaters in Shanghai and Tianjin, Peking opera rose to national prominence. The genre's star actors, particularly male cross-dressing performers led by the exquisite Mei Lanfang and the 'Four Great Female Impersonators' became media celebrities, models of modern fashion and world travel. Ironically, as it became increasingly entrenched in modern commercial networks, Peking opera was increasingly framed in post-May fourth discourses as profoundly traditional. "Drama Kings" demonstrates that the process of reforming and marketing Peking opera as a national genre was integrally involved with process of colonial modernity, shifting gender roles, the rise of capitalist visual culture, and new technologies of public discipline that became increasingly prevalent in urban China in the Republican era.
