Dimensions of Originality investigates the issue of conceptual originality in art criticism of the seventeenth century, a period in which China dynamically reinvented itself. In art criticism, the term which was called upon to indicate conceptual originality more than any other was qi 奇, literally, "different"; but secondarily, "odd," like a number and by extension, "the novel," and "extraordinary." This work finds that originality, expressed through visual difference, was a paradigmatic concern of both artists and critics. Burnett speculates on why many have dismissed originality as a possible "traditional Chinese" value, and the ramifications this has had on art historical understanding. She further demonstrates that a study of individual key terms can reveal social and cultural values and provides a linear history of the increase in critical use of qi as "originality" from the fifth through the seventeenth centuries, exploring what originality looks like in artworks by members of the gentry elite and commoner classes

书页边缘的处理也颇具匠心,没有生硬的切边,而是呈现出一种自然的、略带弧度的过渡,这在视觉和触觉上都给予了我极佳的体验。这种细微之处的处理,往往能够体现出一本书的品质和制作者的用心。拿到手里,就会有一种“好书”的直觉,它不仅仅是一堆纸张的集合,更是一件经过精心打磨的工艺品,承载着知识,也传递着对阅读者的尊重。
评分这本《Dimensions of Originality:Essays on Seventeenth-Century Chinese Art Theory and Criticism》的装帧设计着实令人眼前一亮,深邃的墨色封面,辅以古朴的金文点缀,散发出一种沉静而又充满历史厚重感的韵味。拿到手中的质感也相当不错,纸张的厚度适中,触感细腻,翻阅时没有廉价的沙沙声,这对于一本学术性较强的书籍来说,无疑是加分项。我尤其欣赏的是其书脊的设计,简洁大方,书名和作者信息清晰可见,摆放在书架上,即便在众多书籍中,也能脱颖而出,透露出一种低调的学术品味。
评分我特别关注到书籍装帧材料的选择,那种略带哑光质感的封面纸,触感温润,不易留下指纹,这对于一本经常需要被翻阅的书籍来说,是非常实用的考虑。而且,在灯光下,封面的光泽度呈现出一种内敛的美,不会过于刺眼。书本的整体缝合工艺也非常扎实,翻开跨页时,没有出现松散或撕裂的迹象,这保证了书籍在长时间使用中的耐用性,让人感觉这是一本值得珍藏的学术著作。
评分在初步浏览时,我被这本书的编排方式所吸引。页边留白恰到好处,文字的排版疏密有致,无论是阅读大段的论述,还是细读其中的引文,都显得非常舒适,不易产生视觉疲劳。字体大小的选择也考虑到了学术读者的阅读习惯,既保证了信息的密度,又不会让眼睛过于劳累。另外,书籍的索引部分设计得非常详尽,能够帮助读者快速定位到感兴趣的主题或关键词,这对于进行学术研究的学者而言,无疑是节省宝贵时间的重要功能。
评分我对本书的封面图腾所传达出的意境,产生了浓厚的兴趣。那是一种朦胧而又充满力量的视觉语言,似乎在暗示着书中内容探讨的深度和广度。它不像那些直白的、一览无余的封面那样,而是留有想象的空间,引导读者去探索其背后的含义。这种设计上的“留白”,与艺术创作本身追求的意境有着异曲同工之妙,让我对接下来的阅读内容充满了期待,想要一探究竟,书中是否也如这封面一般,在字里行间营造出丰富的层次感和深刻的内涵。
