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

在初步瀏覽時,我被這本書的編排方式所吸引。頁邊留白恰到好處,文字的排版疏密有緻,無論是閱讀大段的論述,還是細讀其中的引文,都顯得非常舒適,不易産生視覺疲勞。字體大小的選擇也考慮到瞭學術讀者的閱讀習慣,既保證瞭信息的密度,又不會讓眼睛過於勞纍。另外,書籍的索引部分設計得非常詳盡,能夠幫助讀者快速定位到感興趣的主題或關鍵詞,這對於進行學術研究的學者而言,無疑是節省寶貴時間的重要功能。
评分書頁邊緣的處理也頗具匠心,沒有生硬的切邊,而是呈現齣一種自然的、略帶弧度的過渡,這在視覺和觸覺上都給予瞭我極佳的體驗。這種細微之處的處理,往往能夠體現齣一本書的品質和製作者的用心。拿到手裏,就會有一種“好書”的直覺,它不僅僅是一堆紙張的集閤,更是一件經過精心打磨的工藝品,承載著知識,也傳遞著對閱讀者的尊重。
评分我特彆關注到書籍裝幀材料的選擇,那種略帶啞光質感的封麵紙,觸感溫潤,不易留下指紋,這對於一本經常需要被翻閱的書籍來說,是非常實用的考慮。而且,在燈光下,封麵的光澤度呈現齣一種內斂的美,不會過於刺眼。書本的整體縫閤工藝也非常紮實,翻開跨頁時,沒有齣現鬆散或撕裂的跡象,這保證瞭書籍在長時間使用中的耐用性,讓人感覺這是一本值得珍藏的學術著作。
评分我對本書的封麵圖騰所傳達齣的意境,産生瞭濃厚的興趣。那是一種朦朧而又充滿力量的視覺語言,似乎在暗示著書中內容探討的深度和廣度。它不像那些直白的、一覽無餘的封麵那樣,而是留有想象的空間,引導讀者去探索其背後的含義。這種設計上的“留白”,與藝術創作本身追求的意境有著異麯同工之妙,讓我對接下來的閱讀內容充滿瞭期待,想要一探究竟,書中是否也如這封麵一般,在字裏行間營造齣豐富的層次感和深刻的內涵。
评分這本《Dimensions of Originality:Essays on Seventeenth-Century Chinese Art Theory and Criticism》的裝幀設計著實令人眼前一亮,深邃的墨色封麵,輔以古樸的金文點綴,散發齣一種沉靜而又充滿曆史厚重感的韻味。拿到手中的質感也相當不錯,紙張的厚度適中,觸感細膩,翻閱時沒有廉價的沙沙聲,這對於一本學術性較強的書籍來說,無疑是加分項。我尤其欣賞的是其書脊的設計,簡潔大方,書名和作者信息清晰可見,擺放在書架上,即便在眾多書籍中,也能脫穎而齣,透露齣一種低調的學術品味。
