The contributors offer interpretive readings of a film, a work of plastic art, and an essay, all products of contemporary China. The works are "Chinese" not just because they are by Chinese artists and writers and "from China" but also because they bear witness to cultural and intellectual imaginations both by the Chinese themselves and about China in an era of border-crossing. They are part of an interactive reconstruction of the meaning of "Chineseness" in our time.
