Modalities of Change: The Interface of Tradition and Modernity in East Asia

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (28980 ratings)

Description:While in some cases modernity may place traditional forms of expression at a disadvantage, in others, the modern is embraced as a welcome source of new ideas that can be incorporated into tradition in order to change it, while remaining within its own parameters. This is actually likely to help a tradition survive. Maintaining a strong and distinct cultural identity with the help of modernity helps representatives of that identity cope with the modern world more generally. Assimilation to a dominant culture marked as modern, by contrast, is clearly associated with not only the loss of a distinct identity, but also its specific forms of cultural expression. This book explores the interface between modernity and tradition in selected societies in Taiwan, mainland China and Vietnam. The chapters question to what extent traditions are themselves exploiting modernity in creative ways, in the interests of their own further developments.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
