Mellon Chair in History at the University of Pittsburgh. From undergraduate training in paleobiology, Professor Nappi pursued an M.A. in History of Science and then a Ph.D. in Chinese history. Her first book, \u003cem\u003eThe Monkey and the Inkpot: Natural History and its Transformations in Early Modern China\u003c\/em\u003e (Harvard, 2009), looked at problems of evidence and belief in Chinese natural history. Her two most recent books \u003cem\u003eMetagestures\u003c\/em\u003e (with Dominic Pettman, Punctum, 2019) and \u003cem\u003eUninvited\u003c\/em\u003e (with Carrie Jenkins, McGill-Queens University Press, 2020) reflect a growing emphasis on collaborative work and on integrating short fiction and poetry into her practice. Her current work is preoccupied with insomniac temporality; with the relationship between DJ'ing, history, and translation; and with housekeeping as a magical practice.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 9.3 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 08, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50408693006573,"sku":"9780198866398","price":188.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/products\/translating-early-modern-china-gla-c-hardcover","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
