Genealogy making and lineages in postsocialist China : Space, labor, and rituals under processes of heritagization

Svensson, Marina LU (2022) In Visual Ethnography 11(1). p.129-147
Abstract
This photo essay addresses the work and rituals surrounding the making and printing of genealogies in post-socialist China. The essay documents how lineages and printmakers negotiate a new socio-economic environment under the process of heritagization, the materiality and labor of printmaking, and the spaces in which work and rituals takes place. It adds to our understanding of the continuing importance of lineages in Chinese society and how ancestral halls take on new forms and functions in a rapidly changing semi-urban environment.
