Politics, Ideology, and Literary Discourse in Mo – Theoretical Interventions and Cultural Critique
Autor Kang Liu, Xiaobing Tangen Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 noi 1993
With chapters by writers, scholars, and critics from mainland China, Hong Kong, and the United States, this volume explores the complexity of representing modernity within the Chinese context. Addressing the problem of finding a proper language for articulating fundamental issues in the historical experience of twentieth-century China, the authors critically re-examine notions of realism, the self/subject, and modernity and draw on perspectives from feminist criticism, ideological analysis, and postmodern theory. Among the many topics explored are subjectivity in Chinese cultural theory, Chinese gender relations, the viability of a Lacanian approach to Chinese identity, the politics of subversion in Chinese reportage, and the ambivalent status of the icon of paternity since Mao.
At the same time this book offers a probing look into the transformation that Chinese culture as well as the study of that culture is currently undergoing, it also reconfirms private discourse as an ideal site for an investigation into a real and imaginary, private and collective encounter with history. "Contributors." Liu Kang, Xiaobing Tang, Liu Zaifu, Stephen Chan, Lydia H. Liu, Wendy Larson, Theodore Huters, David Wang, Tonglin Lu, Yingjin Zhang, Yuejin Wang, Li Tuo, Leo Ou-fan Lee

Recenzii
ÒThis volume represents an important new trend in studies of Chinese literature in utilizing and debating the theories developed in cultural studies and post-colonialism. . . . A challenging, thought-provoking and immensely useful volume.Ó --Louise Edwards, The China Journal
Notă biografică
Textul de pe ultima copertă
"This present volume, as a whole, abundantly demonstrates that the much talked-about 'paradigm shift' in our field is no longer merely wishful thinking or hot air. It provides us with convincing examples of what some new directions and subjects of investigation may be, and what reading strategies we could apply to old, familiar texts. It is a volume that the next generation of students of modern Chinese literature will have to come to terms with."--Leo Ou-fan Lee, from the Postscript
