Fragments of the prosperous age : living with heritage and treasure in contemporary ChinaLi, Shuai January 2019 (has links)
This thesis studies contemporary China's heritage boom phenomenon as experienced through the everyday lives of antiquarian communities (collectors, antique dealers etc.) and heritage professionals in and around Beijing. Aiming to extend our vision beyond heritage sites and museums, which constitute the traditional subject of anthropological studies of heritage, the thesis explores the ways in which 'heritage' and 'treasure' are lived by wider Chinese urban residents, constituting a total social fact. Challenging the popular assumption made by heritage scholars in which heritage phenomenon is considered a by-product of modernity's tendency to contrast the current progress with the past as a benchmark, this thesis argues that contemporary China's heritage fever is, however, a social symptom of utopian replacement, in which the idea of linear progress promised by modernisation has been challenged by a recent nationwide utopian project of returning to 'the prosperous age' ('shengshi') with its emphasis on cyclical 'rise and fall'. Treasures of China, as 'Fragments of the Prosperous Age', have thus emerged as powerful imaginaries and resources to open up a utopian vision of ideal society based on fantastic imaginations of China's past glories. Foregrounding the relations between heritage and utopianism, the thesis subsequently investigates the complex ways in which heritage activists from state systems and antiquarian communities contribute to the utopian project from different pathways, bifurcating China's heritage phenomenon into formal and informal parts. Chapters one and two demonstrate that state-led imaginings have changed from the evolutionary perspective to one pursuing the glory of the past under the new spell of 'civilisational revival'. Officials and activists associated with formal heritage deploy a variety of discursive and bureaucratic technologies to securitise, manage and utilise China's ancient treasures, so as to legitimise the current regime. On the other hand, Chapters three and four show that collectors associated with informal heritage encounter fragments of the past in a bodily and joyful way. In ordinary antiquarian practices which juxtapose the cultivation of moral self with the patination of antique objects, collectors pursue an archaic yet neoliberal custodianship which has altered the ethics and sense of moral responsibility in the domains of market exchange. These two factions in China's heritage world may differ from each other in many aspects, but Chapter five suggests both of them, in fact, conspire to reproduce ancient 'prosperous age' ('shengshi') in the present and for the future. The thesis concludes with a discussion about the extent to which Hegel's future-oriented conception of 'capitalised History' that structures the writing of national history has transformed into a 'capitalised Heritage' in contemporary China. 'Capitalised Heritage' works to recast the importance of the Chinese nation in the contemporary world, reaching an ultimate reconciliation with the spectre and material legacies of the past.

Previous issue date: 2016-12-12 / Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP) / The object of this investigation is the production of the house in the Basque
countryside, the baserri, in the context of the Valley of Araotz (Municipality of Oñati,
Guipuzcoa, Basque Country). The study is clearly separated into two parts. On the first
one, I deal with the historic formation of the baserri as an object of inquiry and in
relation to the genesis of two systems of knowledge that produced, through a complex
conceptual and theoretical machinery, its own defining outlines: the family-baserri and
the architecture-baserri. On the second part, I try to analyze the particular assemblages
which mediated, produced and/or built certain houses in the Valley of Araotz during the
period of my fieldwork. This way, the aim consists on describing a particular
oikogenesis without structuring it from the classifying outlines introduced by the
disciplinary logical sets analyzed on the first part, and at the same time having the
possibility to find these same classifiers at work and being able to deal with them as
proper ethnographic data.
Thus, I describe how the production of houses in Araotz is not limited to a
definite series of categories anticipated by an efficient cause and that works as an
analytical explanation; on the contrary, the singular acts that make baserri are interdependent
and contemporary to the production of a diverse series of aspects, such as
family, neighborhood, names, heritage, form and materiality of constructions, landscape
and territory, animal husbandry, etc. In addition, it is necessary to state that the “pure”
delimitation of these aspects is a mere abstraction and that in Araotz not a few times are
these found intertwined to the architectural typologies, the anthropological family types,
the valuation of material heritage or simply to the nation-state. In Araotz, not only the
family is created through the construction of the house, but even the architecture and the
anthropology of kinship are inferred and recreated while house and family are made. / Esta pesquisa tem por objeto a produção da casa do meio rural basco, o baserri,
no âmbito do Vale de Araotz (Município de Oñati, Guipúscoa, País Basco). O estudo
está claramente dividido em duas partes. Na primeira parte trato da formação histórica
do baserri enquanto objeto de conhecimento e em relação à gênese de dois sistemas de
saber que produziram, mediante uma complexa bricolagem conceitual e teórica, seus
próprios recortes definitórios da suposta natureza do fenômeno: o baserri-família e o
baserri-arquitetura. Na segunda parte procuro analisar os agenciamentos particulares
que mediaram, produziram e construíram determinadas casas do Vale de Araotz no
período do meu trabalho de campo. Assim, o objetivo consiste em descrever uma
oicogênese particular sem estrutura-la desde os cortes classificatórios introduzidos pelos
pacotes lógicos disciplinares analisados na primeira parte, e simultaneamente ter a
possibilidade de encontrar esses mesmos classificadores em pleno exercício para poder
tratá-los como dados propriamente etnográficos.
Desse modo, descrevo como a produção das casas em Araotz não se limita a
uma série definida de instâncias previstas por uma causa eficiente que faz as vezes de
explicação analítica; ao contrário, os atos singulares que fazem baserri são
interdependentes e contemporâneos à produção de um heterogeneidade de aspectos,
como a família, a vizinhança, os nomes, a herança, a forma e materialidade das
construções, a paisagem e o território, a cria de animais, etc. Cabe dizer que a
delimitação “pura” desses aspectos é uma mera abstração, e que em Araotz não são
poucas às vezes que eles se encontram emaranhados às tipologias arquitetônicas, aos
modelos antropológicos de família, às valorizações do patrimônio cultural ou,
simplesmente, ao Estado-nação. Em Araotz, não se trata unicamente de que a família se
faz com a construção da casa, mas de que a própria antropologia do parentesco e a
arquitetura inferem e se refazem enquanto se faz casa e família. / FAPESP: 2014/19818-6
