Summary:
In August 1968, the Pakistani foreign minister visited Beijing and presented Chairman Mao Zedong with a crate of mangoes as a diplomatic gesture. The next day, Mao sent the mangoes to the “Worker-Peasant Mao Zedong though Propaganda Teams,” who had been stationed at Quinghua University to put down warring factions of Red Guards ten days previously. The message of this gift was to dismiss the Student Red Guards, who had been leaders of the proletarian movement in China, and in their stead to install workers as the permanent guardians of China’s education system. During the following weeks, the mangoes were distributed to several factories, where they were treated as though they were religious relics. The golden mango was thus a powerful emblem of the power and respect accorded to the proletariat under Mao’s rule. Mao’s Gold Mangoes and the Cultural Revolution is the catalog for an exhibition of the same title at the Museum Rietberg in Zürich, which explores the golden mangoes’ reverberations throughout Chinese culture for years to come.

Summary:
n the years following China’s Cultural Revolution, architecture played an active role in the country’s reintegration into the global economy and capitalist world. Looking at the ways in which political and social reform transformed Chinese architecture and how, in turn, architecture gave structure to the reforms, Cole Roskam underlines architecture’s unique ability to shape space as well as behavior. Roskam traces how foreign influences like postmodernism began to permeate Chinese architectural discourse in the 1970s and 1980s and how figures such as Kevin Lynch, I. M. Pei, and John Portman became key forces in the introduction of Western educational ideologies and new modes of production. Offering important insights into architecture’s relationship to the politics, economics, and diplomacy of post-Mao China, this unprecedented interdisciplinary study examines architecture’s multivalent status as an art, science, and physical manifestation of cultural identity.

Se réclamant explicitement de la Commune de Paris, ils créent un organisme nouveau, la Commune de Shanghai. Les ouvriers et les étudiants sont maîtres de la plus grande ville industrielle de Chine. Le livre retrace presque jour par jour cette aventure unique : la montée de la révolte, les luttes internes, la résistance féroce de ceux qui s’accrochent au pouvoir en s’appuyant sur l’armée, la victoire de la Commune – et puis le recul sur ordre de Mao qui craint lui-même que l’armée le lâche. La Commune de Shanghai, qui devient Comité révolutionnaire, aura duré moins longtemps que la Commune de Paris.

A travers les abondantes archives de la Fondation HCB, ce livre retrace et analyse un des moments clés de la carrière d'Henri Cartier-Bresson, le séjour en Chine, de décembre 1948 à septembre 1949. Suite à une commande de Life magazine, et peu après la création de l'agence coopérative Magnum, HCB réalise ce voyage au moment de la transition entre le régime nationaliste de Chiang Kaï-shek et le régime communiste de Mao Zedong. Plus que des photographies dites « de reportage », les images qui en résultent, dont beaucoup sont restées parmi ses plus célèbres, témoignent d'événements marquants, de circonstances sociales et de modes de vie qui vont disparaître, et surtout retiennent l'attention par leurs qualités empathiques et poétiques. Marqué par le pays et sa culture, comme par les mutations politiques de l'époque, HCB retournera en Chine en 1958 et constatera les effets du changement de régime. Elargissant le propos du livre, ce second séjour vient ici compléter le premier, à la fois en résonance et en contraste.
