520 3  A brief stay in France was, for many Chinese workers and 
       Chinese Communist Party leaders, a vital stepping stone 
       for their careers during the cultural and political push 
       to modernize China after World War I. For the Chinese 
       students who went abroad specifically to study Western art
       and literature, these trips meant something else entirely.
       Set against the backdrop of interwar Paris, Paris and the 
       Art of Transposition uncovers previously marginalized 
       archives to reveal the artistic strategies employed by 
       Chinese artists and writers in the early twentieth-century
       transnational imaginary and to explain why Paris played 
       such a central role in the global reception of modern 
       Chinese literature and art. While previous studies of 
       Chinese modernism have focused on how Western modernist 
       aesthetics were adapted or translated to the Chinese 
       context, Angie Chau does the opposite by turning to Paris 
       in the Chinese imaginary and discussing the literary and 
       visual artwork of five artists who moved between France 
       and China: the painter Chang Yu, the poet Li Jinfa, art 
       critic Fu Lei, the painter Pan Yuliang, and the writer Xu 
       Xu. Chau draws the idea of transposition from music theory
       where it refers to shifting music from one key or clef to 
       another, or to adapting a song originally composed for one
       instrument to be played by another. Transposing 
       transposition to the study of art and literature, Chau 
       uses the term to describe a fluid and strategic art 
       practice that depends on the tension between foreign and 
       familiar, new and old, celebrating both novelty and 
       recognition--a process that occurs when a text gets placed
       into a fresh context.
