Cultural Revolution and Revolutionary Culture
In Cultural Revolution and Revolutionary Culture, Alessandro Russo presents a dramatic new reading of China's Cultural Revolution as a mass political experiment aimed at thoroughly reexamining the tenets of communism.Russo explores four critical phases of the Cultural Revolution, each with its own reworking of communist political subjectivity: the historical-theatrical “prologue” of 1965; Mao's attempts to shape the Cultural Revolution in 1965 and 1966; the movements and organizing between 1966 and 1968 and the factional divides that ended them; and the mass study campaigns from 1973 to 1976 and the unfinished attempt to evaluate the inadequacies of the political decade that brought the Revolution to a close.Among other topics, Russo shows how the dispute around the play Hai Rui Dismissed from Office was not the result of a Maoist conspiracy, but rather a series of intense and unresolved political and intellectual controversies.He also examines the Shanghai January Storm and the problematic foundation of the short-lived Shanghai Commune.By exploring these and other political-cultural moments of Chinese confrontations with communist principles, Russo overturns conventional wisdom about the Cultural Revolution.

Can European culture transfer its values to other cultural circles?
European culture has a long history of influencing and being influenced by other cultures, making it possible for its values to be transferred to other cultural circles. Through colonization, trade, and globalization, European values such as democracy, human rights, and individualism have spread to various parts of the world. However, the extent to which these values are adopted and integrated into other cultural circles can vary depending on factors such as historical context, local traditions, and societal norms. Ultimately, the transfer of European cultural values to other cultural circles is a complex and ongoing process that involves both adaptation and resistance.

Is cultural diversity a prerequisite for understanding one's own culture?
Cultural diversity can provide valuable perspectives and insights that can enhance one's understanding of their own culture. By interacting with people from different cultural backgrounds, individuals can gain a deeper appreciation for their own cultural norms, values, and traditions. Exposure to diverse cultures can also challenge assumptions and biases, leading to a more critical and nuanced understanding of one's own cultural identity. However, while cultural diversity can be beneficial in this regard, it is not necessarily a prerequisite for understanding one's own culture, as individuals can also develop a strong sense of cultural identity through introspection, education, and engagement with their own community.

Is cultural globalization a threat to the original culture of each country?
Cultural globalization can be seen as a threat to the original culture of each country in some ways.

Intellectual and Cultural Property : Between Market and Community
This book focuses on the fraught relationship between cultural heritage and intellectual property, in their common concern with the creative arts.The competing discourses in international legal instruments around copyright and intangible cultural heritage are the most obvious manifestation of this troubled encounter.However, this characterization of the relationship between intellectual and cultural property is in itself problematic, not least because it reflects a fossilized concept of heritage, divided between things that are fixed and moveable, tangible and intangible.Instead the book maintains that heritage should be conceived as part of a dynamic and mutually constitutive process of community formation.It argues, therefore, for a critically important distinction between the fundamentally different concepts of not only intellectual and cultural heritage/property, but also of the market and the community.For while copyright as a private property right locates all relationships in the context of the market, the context of cultural heritage relationships is the community, of which the market forms a part but does not – and, indeed, should not – control the whole.The concept of cultural property/heritage, then, is a way of resisting the reduction of everything to its value in the market, a way of resisting the commodification, and creeping propertization, of everything. And, as such, the book proposes an alternative basis for expressing and controlling value according to the norms and identity of a community, and not according to the market value of private property rights.An important and original intervention, this book will appeal to academics and practitioners in both intellectual property and the arts, as well as legal and cultural theorists with interests in this area.

Is batik cultural appropriation?
Batik is a traditional Indonesian textile art form that holds significant cultural and historical value. When individuals from outside of the Indonesian culture appropriate batik without understanding or respecting its cultural significance, it can be considered cultural appropriation. However, if people from other cultures engage with batik in a respectful and informed manner, such as by learning about its history and supporting the artisans who create it, it can be a form of cultural appreciation rather than appropriation. It is important to approach the use of batik with sensitivity and respect for its origins.
