Ing. 520 "Examines the intersections between forgetting and remembering in classical Chinese civilization"-- |cProvided by publisher. 520 The Craft of Oblivion is an innovative and groundbreaking volume that aims to study, for the first time, the intersections between forgetting and remembering in classical Chinese civilization. Oblivion has tended to be relegated to a marginal position, often conceived as the mere destructive or undesirable opposite of memory, even though it performs an essential function in our lives. Forgetting and memory, far from being autonomous and mutually exclusive spheres, should be seen as interdependent phenomena. Drawing on perspectives from history, philosophy, literature, and religion, and examining both transmitted texts and excavated materials, the contributors to this volume analyze various ways of understanding oblivion and its complex and fertile relations with memory in ancient China--back cover. 651 0 China |xCivilization |yTo 221 B.C. |xSources. 651 0 China |xCivilization |y221 B.C.-960 A.D. |xSources. 650 0 Chinese literature |yTo 221 B.C. |xHistory and criticism. 650 0 Chinese literature |y221 B.C.-960 A.D. |xHistory and criticism. 650 0 Philosophy, Chinese |yTo 221 B.C. 650 0 Philosophy, Chinese |y221 B.C.-960 A.D. 650 0 Memory. 650 7 Chinese literature. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00857595 650 7 Civilization |xSources. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01352403 650 7 Memory. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01015913 650 7 Philosophy, Chinese. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01060917 651 7 China. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01206073 648 7 To 960 |2fast 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 Galvany, Albert, |eeditor. 830 0 SUNY series in Chinese philosophy and culture 903 24 910 |cC0710mon |d3110-07 |gYBP |h801901 914 (OCoLC)on1347048388 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20230920 |eprocessed |f1347048388 980 19289968 |f801901 |i95.00 |j77.90 |n40031864690 982 |cf |q32101119649935
