The Rhetoric of Hiddenness in Traditional Chinese Culture

The Rhetoric of Hiddenness in Traditional Chinese Cultureav Paula M. Varsano
Om The Rhetoric of Hiddenness in Traditional Chinese Culture

This volume brings together fourteen essays that explore the role of hiddenness-as both an object and a mode of representation-in the history of cultural production in China from the Warring States Period (403-221 BCE) to the end of the Qing Dynasty (1911) and beyond. The rhetorical use of various forms of hiddenness makes its appearance in literary, political, philosophical, and religious writings, as well as in the visual arts. Working in fields as disparate as traditional Chinese literature, religion, philosophy, history, medicine, and art, the contributors attempt to characterize one of the fundamental signifying practices in traditional Chinese cultural production. In the process, they not only reveal otherwise obscure patterns connecting longstanding social, political, aesthetic, and epistemological practices, but also contribute to ongoing discussions-well beyond the field of China studies-regarding the representation and communicability of knowledge, as well as the practices controlling its dissemination.
