- Title
Industrial Things in a Post-Industrial Society: The Life and Afterlife of a Chinese Glass-Forming Machine.
- Authors
FLATH, James A.
- Abstract
This essay considers the emergence of post-industrial China through an examination of the 'social' and 'antisocial' lives of an industrial glass-forming machine. By reviewing the process through which glass-forming technology developed in China, the closure of industrial glass manufacturing in Shanghai, and the adoption of an abandoned glassforming machine by the Shanghai Museum of Glass, the essay reflects on the ways in which one formerly industrial district has begun to negotiate its multiple and sometimes conflicting identities.
