Opis

Unconventional, creative, and highly original, this book centres on the assemblage of household machines that create the space of contemporary domesticity. It offers a new understanding of how the sudden commodification of domestic space in China beginning in the late 1980s has transformed Chinese domestic life beyond recognition.
