Beschreibung
This book offers a fresh understanding and proposes a new research approach of Chinese silk, viewing silk weaving as a rich and dynamic system of linguistic symbols. It does not treat weaving as a static craft or material process, but rather explores how the act of weaving conveys meaning through bodily movement, rhythm, and interaction. Drawing on Daniel Chandler's constructivist semiotics, the book redefines silk as a cultural symbol capable of creating meaning through participation and performance.
