Subjectivity and Realism in Modern China

Více o knize

Exploring the interplay of subjectivity and realism in modern Chinese literature, this book examines Hu Feng's theoretical writings and Lu Ling's fictional works. It argues that individualism should be contextualized within historical frameworks rather than viewed as a timeless value. By analyzing the social-historical subtext, it highlights how subjectivity is influenced by class and community rather than mere personal choice. Xiaoping Wang advocates for a nuanced understanding of intellectuals' cultural-political strategies, illuminating the relationship between recognition and literary style.
