Chinese Surplus

Ari Larissa Heinrich examines transnational Chinese aesthetic production-from the earliest appearance of Frankenstein in China to the more recent phenomenon of "cadaver art"- to demonstrate how representations of the medically commodified body can illuminate the effects of biopolitical violence and postcolonialism in contemporary life.

Ari Larissa Heinrich examineaza productia estetica transnationala chineza - de la cea mai timpurie aparitie a lui Frankenstein in China pana la fenomenul mai recent al „artei cadavrelor” - pentru a demonstra modul in care reprezentarile corpului comodificat medical pot ilumina efectele violentei biopolitice si ale postcolonialismului in viata contemporana.
