"Photos: Over 4 tons of garbage fished from Forbidden City moat"

"This week, INESAD's Carolynn Look published an article in the October 2012 issue of Global South Development Magazine, where she is the editorial assistant and contributor: Beijing, China. Hundreds of buildings tower over the people that bustle between them every day. Some get demolished, some get rebuilt, some just get a fresh layer of paint. But what strikes you as you walk through this eclectic monster of a city is that none of its buildings are covered in tags or graffiti as they are in other metropolises. Or so you would think on first sight."

"Est-on obligé de créditer une photo libre de droits ?"Question. Quels crédits photographiques pour des images illustrant les sites, notamment lorsqu'il s'agit d'images de Fotolia ? Doit-on indiquer les crédits d'une photo en légende de l'image ? Suffit-il d'indiquer les crédits dans un « crédit photo » sur une page du site, au risque de ne pas identifier l'image associée au crédit ? Suffit-il d'indiquer que les illustrations du site proviennent de Fotolia ?

Régine THIRIEZ, Barbarian lens : western photographers of the qianlong emperor's european palaces, New York, Gordon and Breach, 1998, 191 p. Compte-rendu de Gérard Lévy "Dans le domaine encore peu étudié des premières décennies de la photographie en Chine, ce travail ouvre une voie nouvelle aux chercheurs: celle de l'étude systématique au cours du temps des diverses représentations d'un sujet unique et de leur contexte. 2Il s'agit ici de monuments aussi célèbres qu'ils sont peu connus, les palais de style européen construits près de Beijing pour le grand empereur Qianlong par des missionnaires jésuites au milieu du XVIIIe siècle, qui furent incendiés lors du sac du Palais d'Été, en 1860. La recherche porte, d'une part, sur le sujet photographié et ses représentations, d'autre part, sur les quelques hommes qui entre 1860 et 1925 photographièrent ces ruines, depuis pratiquement anéanties.

" Photo by Tong Lam By Tong Lam - April 10, 2013 In spite of being called the "world's manufacturer," China has been moving toward a consumption-led economy in the past two decades. In the aftermath of the Tiananmen uprising in 1989, the government has worked hard to create a consumer society as a way to divert the attention of the expanding middle class from its rising political demands. The emphasis on consumption, particularly household consumption, has taken on new significance in recent years as the government uses domestic demand to counteract the ongoing global financial crisis. Yet the story of consumption in China also involves foreign tourists, transnational corporations, and consumers elsewhere. In effect, China is now a circuit of global consumption. And the various types of consumer products and information that saturate everyday life, as seen in this online photo essay, are some of the evidence. -Tong Lam Tong Lam is a historian of modern China and a visual artist. He teaches at the University of Toronto and is the author of A Passion for Facts: Social Surveys and the Construction of the Chinese Nation-State, 1900-1949 (California, 2011).
