In this book the authors investigate the meaning of the boundary as metaphor and paradox, as threshold and interface across the whole spectrum of Chinese art and society. The essays range from early politics and society to contemporary public and private discourse; from the creation of a literary canon to the positioning of individuals in dynastic time; from the public spaces in today's Peking Opera to the intangible surfaces of self in 14th-century painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll the authors in this book are established Sinologists. \u003ci\u003eBoundaries in China\u003c\/i\u003e will be stimulating reading for anyone interested in the psycho-social dynamics of non-Western art and culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncludes essays by Robin D.
