Title = {Rethinking chinese popular culture: Cannibalizations of the
canon},
Pages = {1-288},
Year = {2008},

ISBN = {9780415468800},

Abstract = {Through analyses of a wide range of Chinese literary and
visual texts from the beginning of the twentieth century
through the contemporary period, the thirteen essays in this
volume challenge the view that canonical and popular culture
are self-evident and diametrically opposed categories, and
instead argue that the two cultural sensibilities are
inextricably bound up with one another. An international
line up of contributors present detailed analyses of
literary works and other cultural products that have
previously been neglected by scholars, while also examining
more familiar authors and works from provocative new
angles.The essays include investigations into the cultural
industries and contexts that produce the canonical and
popular, the position of contemporary popular works at the
interstices of nostalgia and amnesia, and also the ways in
which cultural texts are inflected with gendered and erotic
sensibilities while at the same time also functioning as
objects of desire in its own right. As the only volume of
its kind to cover the entire span of the 20th century, and
also to consider the interplay of popular and canonical
literature in modern China with comparable rigor, Rethinking
Chinese Popular Culture is an important resource for
students and scholars of Chinese literature and
culture.},

Month = {January},
ISBN = {9780367406653},
url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.4324/9780367815158},
Abstract = {Through an analysis of a wide array of contemporary Chinese
literature from inside and outside of China, this volume
considers some of the ways in which China and Chineseness
are understood and imagined. Using the central theme of the
way in which literature has the potential to both reinforce
and to undermine a national imaginary, the volume contains
chapters offering new perspectives on well-known authors,
from Jin Yucheng to Nobel Prize winning Mo Yan, as well as
chapters focusing on authors rarely included in discussions
of contemporary Chinese literature, such as the expatriate
authors Larissa Lai and Xiaolu Guo. The volume is
complemented by chapters covering more marginalized literary
figures throughout history, such as Macau-born poet Yiling,
the Malaysian-born novelist Zhang Guixing, and the
ethnically Korean author Kim Hak-ch’ŏl. Invested in
issues ranging from identity and representation, to
translation and grammar, it is one of the few publications
of its kind devoting comparable attention to authors from
Mainland China, authors from Manchuria, Macau, and Taiwan,
and throughout the global Chinese diaspora. Reading China
Against the Grain: Imagining Communities is a rich resource
of literary criticism for students and scholars of Chinese
studies, sinophone studies, and comparative
literature.},

Abstract = {This article considers the contemporary genre of Internet
fan fiction inspired by Dream of the Red Chamber, which is
to say Chinese novels published over the Internet that take
the plot of Dream of the Red Chamber as their starting
point. Through a close textual analysis of thematics of
incestuous desire, reproduction, and vestigial remains in
two works of Dream, of the Red Chamber fan fiction, he
argues that these contemporary novels comment allegorically
not only on their own relationship to Dream of the Red
Chamber itself, but also on more abstract processes of
literary production and canon formation.},

Abstract = {Through an examination of short stories from the Malaysian
Chinese author Ng Kim Chew's 2001 collection From Island to
Island, this essay reflects on the taxonomic functions of
criteria such as language, ethnicity, and nationality,
particularly as they inform contemporary discussions of
Chinese, Sinophone, and Mahua (Malaysian Chinese)
literature. Several of Ng's stories are set on remote
islands and feature individuals who, having been forcibly
separated from their original linguistic or social
environment, offer a vehicle for reflecting on some of the
consequences of literary taxonomies that arbitrarily
prioritize one criterion (such as language or nationality)
over others. Drawing on Wittgenstein's notion of family
resemblance, the essay proposes a taxonomic system that does
not rely on a single criterion but rather attends to the
dynamic interaction among a variety of criteria. The
resulting model is used to interrogate the naturalized
conception of the family on which Wittgenstein
relies.},

examines translation as a methodology for negotiating not

this translational approach offers a way of examining the
possibilities and limits of this sort of negotiation. By
extension, a similar translational framework may also be
used to understand the attempts by critics to assess
fiction’s own attempts to render these marginalized
voices.},

time, however, through attention to the role played by these

formations within which those same subjectivities are

this essay proposes that the novel uses two types of
animals, elephants and crocodiles, to present two very
different attitudes toward the region's Communist guerilla
fighters. Over the course of the novel, the characterization
of each of these two sets of animals-as well as of the
guerilla fighters themselves-is strategically

Frant Gwo's 2019 film Wandering Earth has been celebrated as
China's first big-budget science fiction film. As a Chinese
film with a global theme that simultaneously targets both a
domestic and an international audience, accordingly, the
work invites a reflection on the relationship between the
local and the global-on how we understand the concept of
home, and what it might mean to be home in the world. This
essay, accordingly, examines three intersecting ways in
which Wandering Earth (both the film and the original
novella) explores the relationship between home and the
world, including the status of the Earth as an ecological
system, the planet's status as a lived environment, as well
as a set of contemporary geopolitical discourses about
China's shifting position within the contemporary world
order, and particularly its relationship to the Global

Abstract = {This article borrows Juno Salazar Parreñas’s concept of
the “semi-wild” as an entry point into an analysis of
Malaysian Chinese author Zhang Guixing’s novels Elephant
Herd (1998) and Monkey Cup (2000). Set in Sarawak, both
works feature a relatively simple plotline interwoven with
an intricate web of flashbacks. More specifcally, each
work’s primary plotline features an ethnically Chinese
protagonist searching for a relative who has disappeared
into the rainforest, while also becoming romantically
interested in a young Indigenous woman whom he meets during
his quest. In each case, a fascination with the relationship
between humans and Sarawak’s various “semi-wild” flora
and fauna is paralleled by an attention to the relationship
between the region’s ethnic Chinese and its various
Indigenous peoples—and particularly two subgroups of
Sarawak’s Dayak ethnicity, the “Sea Dayaks” (also
known as the Iban) and the “Land Dayaks” (who are often
simply called “Dayaks”). Each work uses a set of
quasi-anthropomorphized plants and animals (including
silk-cotton trees, Nepenthes pitcher plants, elephants,
crocodiles, rhinoceroses, and orangutans) to reflect on
humans’ relationship to the local ecosystem, while
simultaneously using Indigenous peoples to reflect on the
way in which overlapping colonial legacies have shaped the
region’s sociopolitical structures.},

Abstract = {Opening with a discussion of Singaporean artist Charles Lim
Yi Yong’s multiyear art project SEASTATE (2005–), this
introduction uses Singapore’s recent land reclamation
efforts to reflect on more general processes of world
building in Sinophone Southeast Asia. More specifcally, the
essay considers how multiple waves of migration from China
to Southeast Asia have resulted in a wide array of Chinese
communities throughout the region, and how modern literature
may be used as a prism through which to examine some of the
sociocultural formations that have been generated by these
waves of migration from China throughout Southeast Asia. The
essay considers how literature reflects the region’s
diverse array of Sinitic communities, or “worlds,” and
how literary production may be viewed as a process of world
making in its own right. Although this special issue covers
considerable territory (both literally and metaphorically),
our objective is not to offer a comprehensive survey of all
modern literary production from the entire region. Instead,
we seek to showcase a set of novel approaches that may be
used to examine the region’s eclectic body of literary
production, including approaches grounded in concepts of
mesology, postloyalism, interimperiality, oceanic
epistemologies, offcenter articulations, and the condition
of being “semiwild.”},

Abstract = {A cancer village, an AIDS village, a rightist re-education
camp during China’s Great Famine, and so forth - many of
Yan Lianke’s fictional works revolve around remote
communities that are comparatively isolated from mainstream
Chinese society yet are defined by unusual, distorted, or
even perverse features that are indexical traces of a set of
structural transformations affecting the nation as a whole.
In this respect, these fictional spaces may be viewed as
examples of what Foucault calls heterotopias. This chapter
examines several of the heterotopian spaces in Yan’s
fiction, reflecting on how they are used to highlight a set
of distortions and malignancies within contemporary China
while, at the same time, offering a vision for possible
reform.},

Abstract = {This essay uses a dialectics of wildness and domestication
as a prism through which to examine the first work in Zhang
Guixing’s informal rainforest trilogy, his 1998 novel
Elephant Herd (Qunxiang). Focusing on Zhang’s engagement
with issues of nature, colonialism, language, and family,
the essay argues that the novel pivots on a pair of
intertwined impulses to domesticate wilderness, on the one
hand, and to disrupt and figuratively “re-wild” these
domesticated spaces, on the other hand. Even as wildness, in
all its forms, is perceived as an existential threat that
needs to be tamed, the resulting domestication process
frequently involves patterns of violence that require new
efforts of domestication in their own right.},

Abstract = {Taken from the beginning of Zhang Guixing’s 1998 novel
Elephant Herd (Qunxiang), this excerpt opens with a series
of flashbacks to incidents that occurred when the narrator
was six, seven, eight, and fourteen years old, respectively,
focusing on the narrator’s relationship with various
members of his extended family and family acquaintances. The
novel’s main plotline (which is not introduced in this
short excerpt) describes a trip that the twenty-year-old
protagonist, Shi Shicai, takes up Sarawak’s Rajang River
with his former high-school classmate Zhu Dezhong in search
of Shicai’s uncle, Yu Jiatong, who is the leader of an
underground brigade of communist guerillas.},

Abstract = {Based on an internet novel first released in 2008, the
Chinese web series Go Princess Go 太子妃升職記
(2015–2016) takes a time-travel ‘crossover’ premise
and uses it to explore a set of queer scenarios involving
‘crossovers’ of both gender and sexual orientation. This
article examines how the series approaches issues of
identity formation in relation to a plotline that has both
homoerotic and transgender implications. The article then
considers the series in relation to broader set of
paratextual concerns, including the regulatory environment
under which the series was initially produced as well as the
Chinese work’s subsequent re-adaptation as a Korean web
series—arguing that the issues of identity formation that
the series explores with respect to individuals also pertain
to the questions of cultural production and community
structure raised by these paratextual concerns.},

Abstract = {Through a consideration of the introductions that Yingjin
Zhang wrote for the first and final solo-edited volumes of
his career, China in a Polycentric World (1998) and A World
History of Chinese Literature (2023), this essay examines
some of the concerns with the relationship between Chinese
and world literature that preoccupied Zhang throughout his
career. In particular, he approached the category of Chinese
literature and culture as being grounded in a concept of
Chineseness understood not as a national but rather as a
cultural category. Moreover, he stressed that Chinese and
world literature are best understood not as discrete
concepts or categories, but rather as dynamic practices,
which has allowed them to consistently exceed and transcend
political or institutional attempts to limit the literary
field’s nominal scope or possibilities.},
