Yun-hua Chen Livres

"Ko-hua Chen's Decapitated Poetry was the first explicitly queer book of poems published in Taiwan and remains a foundational work in Taiwanese poetry. Decades after it first appeared in 1995, this collection retains the capacity to shock, appall, and jolt readers into recognizing homosexuality as its own specific category of being. Behind Chen's depictions of the disjunctive realities of queer erotic life, a formidable and uncompromising poetic intelligence can be seen at play. Alongside the erotic, satirical offerings from Decapitated Poetry, this volume includes selections from Chen's remarkable sci-fi sequences that offer further transcorporeal meditations on forbidden queer love. Excoriating, heretical, tender, and always alive to the transgressive potential of language, this exhilarating volume from Seagull's Pride List is the perfect introduction to one of Taiwanese poetry's most daring voices." -- Provided by the publisher

China's transition from a planned economy to a market economy has succeeded in producing more than a decade of phenomenal growth. Whilst similar reforms in countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union have seen an initial downturn in production, usually with a significant rise in unemployment, the success of the approach taken by China has been remarkable. However, China embarked upon the process, without a well-designed blueprint at the outset. The resulting piecemeal, partial, incremental, and often experimental approach has proved complicated to implement - requiring a complex melding of politics and economics, internal and foreign affairs, government and market. How the difficult task of balancing the diverse array of often competing concerns has been achieved is the subject of this book, which examines the dismantling of the centrally planned system and the mechanism of institutional change in Chinese transition.

KOCHEN ist meine Leidenschaft geworden, seitdem ich von China nach Deutschland gezogen bin. Mein Motto lautet: Gesund und einfach kochen! Basierend auf meinen Grundkenntnissen aus Shanghai habe ich inzwischen viel Lob von meinen Freunden, Bekannten und Nachbarn erhalten. Alle möchten wissen, wie ich chinesisch, vor allem im Shanghai-Stil koche. Es ist gar nicht so einfach, alles mündlich zu schildern. Nun habe ich ausgewählte Rezepte mit meinen sogenannten Geheimnissen in diesem Buch niedergeschrieben und durch Fotos, Anmerkungen und unterhaltsame Geschichten ergänzt. Ich hoffe, dass es allen Interessierten weiterhelfen wird.
