16mo, br. ed. pp.144.Ce que nous considérons aujourd'hui comme la civilisation chinoise est intimement lié au despotisme impérial. Nous devons la juger là-dessus - non pour nier sa grandeur, ni pour réduire le rôle qu'elle a joué dans l'histoire, mais pour déterminer le rapport que nous voulons entretenir avec elle.

Editions Skira, 1989, in-4 relié pleine toile d'édition sous jaquette d'édition illustrée couleurs. 319 pages. Riche iconographie couleurs et noir et blanc. Parfaite condition. Sa thèse mise à part, le seul livre que J.F. Billeter ait publié pendant ses années d’enseignement est L’Art chinois de l’écriture, paru chez Skira en 1989, illustré en noir et blanc et en couleurs. Cet ouvrage de synthèse sur la calligraphie chinoise traite des caractéristiques de l’écriture chinoise, de la technique du pinceau, du passage de l’écriture à la calligraphie proprement dite, de ce que les calligraphes de différentes époques ont dit de leur pratique, des diverses fonctions qu’a remplies la calligraphie. Des rapprochements sont faits avec la pratique de la peinture, du dessin et surtout l’exécution musicale en Europe. Une version remaniée de l’ouvrage a paru chez Allia en 2010 sous une forme plus maniable, illustrée en noir et blanc seulement. Le chapitre final (ch.9) a été réécrit. Il jette sur l’ensemble du sujet un jour qui n’est plus tout à fait le même que dans la première édition. J.F. Billeter y met en lumière la relation intime qui unissait l’art chinois de l’écriture, un certain culte de l’écriture et une civilisation qui était aussi, sous l’empire, un ordre politique

8vo, hardcover, 300pp. In the 1960s and 1970s, around 17 million Chinese youths were mobilized or forced by the state to migrate to rural villages and China's frontiers. Bin Xu tells the story of how this 'sent-down' generation have come to terms with their difficult past. Exploring representations of memory including personal life stories, literature, museum exhibits, and acts of commemoration, he argues that these representations are defined by a struggle to reconcile worthiness with the political upheavals of the Mao years. These memories, however, are used by the state to construct an official narrative that weaves this generation's experiences into an upbeat story of the 'China dream'. This marginalizes those still suffering and obscures voices of self-reflection on their moral-political responsibility for their actions. Xu provides careful analysis of this generation of 'Chairman Mao's children', caught between the political and the personal, past and present, nostalgia and regret, and pride and trauma.

br. ed. 336pp. The Chinese CLASSIC OF MOUNTAINS AND SEAS dates from the 3rd century B.C. to the 1st century A.D. and is structured according to a conception of the world as a vast land mass bounded on its four sides by four seas, beyond which lie four great wildernesses. Each chapter leads the reader through successive landscapes, describing the geographical and mythological associations of each location. The CLASSIC defies neat classification, and combines travel, genealogy, medicine, botany, regional lore, fables, and above all mythology. The CLASSIC is the key sourcebook of ancient Chinese mythology, occupying an analogous position in Chinese cultural history to Ovid's 'Metamorphoses' in Greek mythology.
