Following 1978 and China’s economic reforms, Jingdezhen, known as “the capital city of porcelain” adopted a new look under the impetus of modernization. The author examines the change of social structure, people’s reaction, as well as the cultural motivation behind the change through research into the disappearance and reappearance of family porcelain workshops in Jingdezhen in the 1990s. This volume further discusses culture and techniques of Jingdezhen handicraft, as well as changes in art forms and art production during the process of China’s modernization.
Representing an ethnographic account of the revival of local traditions within the broader context of globalization, this work is perfect for scholars of history, political science, sociology and cultural studies.
