Reviews
By closely examining a broad selection of documentaries, feature films, and other artistic works and cultural products, Hui illuminates not only the works themselves but also the sociocultural environments that have nurtured these works and in turn been shaped by them. A useful and enlightening perspective on Chinese middle-class consumer culture., A cutting-edge work of cultural studies, this book shines a penetrating light on the rise of a middle class in China. Examining the powers of mass media, film, and fashion industry, Calvin Hui offers us fascinating scenarios and critical insights into how consumerist fantasies raise the pretensions of a status-seeking "bourgeoisie" while opening up dream spaces for alienated labor., The Art of Useless is notable for its innovative methodologies of cultural studies [. . .] The study of social class is an important field, but in China studies, this subject is dominated by sociological methodologies. This book makes a welcome contribution by bringing in humanistic concerns and a cultural studies perspective., [This] book tells a compelling story about the waning of proletarian culture and the rise of middle-class consumer culture., From Never Forget , a 1964 socialist film intent on educating a factory worker who longs for a fancy suit, to the forty dazzling costume changes in 1980's Romance on Lu Mountain , to the white-collar fashion presentations in 2010's Go! Lala Go! , the politics of how one dresses has been a crucial coordinate for navigating cultural identity in contemporary China. In The Art of Useless , Calvin Hui takes us on a fascinating cultural tour that remaps our understanding of the relationship among fashion, politics, and visual culture during an era of unprecedented social transformation., This book will be of great use to anyone exploring consumer culture in China as well as the cultural changes that have taken place in the transition from a socialist to a post-socialist China. It is a must-read for anyone who seeks to understand fashion's role in shaping culture or in understanding the role of consumption in shaping social class., By closely examining a broad selection of documentaries, feature films, and other artistic works and cultural products, Hui illuminates not only the works themselves but also the sociocultural environments that have nurtured these works and in turned been shaped by them. A useful and enlightening perspective on the Chinese middle-class consumer culture., A superbly original study of the media construction of the middle-class sensibility in post-1949 China, Calvin Hui's The Art of Useless demonstrates the indisputable value of Western Marxism and cultural studies in Chinese-language film studies. The ingenious tripartite structure moving from consumption to its underside affords an irresistible riveting read.
