| 505 | 8 | |a The depiction of personal and collective suffering in modern Chinese novels differs significantly from standard Communist accounts and many Eastern and Western historical narratives. Writers such as Yu Hua, Su Tong, Wang Anyi, Mo Yan, Han Shaogong, Ge Fei, Li Rui, and Zhang Wei skew and scramble common conceptions of China's modern development, deploying avant-garde narrative techniques from Latin American and Euro-American modernism to project a surprisingly "un-Chinese" dystopian vision and critical view of human culture and ethics.The epic narratives of modern Chinese fiction make rich use of magical realism, surrealism, and unusual treatments of historical time. Also featuring graphic depictions of sex and violence, as well as dark, raunchy comedy, these novels reflect China's recent history re-presenting the overthrow of the monarchy in the early twentieth century and the resulting chaos of revolution and war; the recurring miseries perpetrated by class warfare during the dictatorship of Mao Zedong; and the social dislocations caused by China's industrialization and rise as a global power. This book casts China's highbrow historical novels from the late 1980s to the first decade of the twenty-first century as a distinctively Chinese contribution to the form of the global dystopian novel and, consequently, to global thinking about the interrelations of utopia and dystopia | |

| spelling | Kinkley, Jeffrey C. aut Visions of Dystopia in China's New Historical Novels Jeffrey C. Kinkley New York, NY Columbia University Press [2014] © 2014 1 online resource (304 pages) illustrations txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher’s Web site, viewed September 10 2015) The depiction of personal and collective suffering in modern Chinese novels differs significantly from standard Communist accounts and many Eastern and Western historical narratives. Writers such as Yu Hua, Su Tong, Wang Anyi, Mo Yan, Han Shaogong, Ge Fei, Li Rui, and Zhang Wei skew and scramble common conceptions of China's modern development, deploying avant-garde narrative techniques from Latin American and Euro-American modernism to project a surprisingly "un-Chinese" dystopian vision and critical view of human culture and ethics.The epic narratives of modern Chinese fiction make rich use of magical realism, surrealism, and unusual treatments of historical time. Also featuring graphic depictions of sex and violence, as well as dark, raunchy comedy, these novels reflect China's recent history re-presenting the overthrow of the monarchy in the early twentieth century and the resulting chaos of revolution and war; the recurring miseries perpetrated by class warfare during the dictatorship of Mao Zedong; and the social dislocations caused by China's industrialization and rise as a global power. This book casts China's highbrow historical novels from the late 1980s to the first decade of the twenty-first century as a distinctively Chinese contribution to the form of the global dystopian novel and, consequently, to global thinking about the interrelations of utopia and dystopia In English Geschichte 1900-2000 Geschichte 1980-2000 gnd rswk-swf Chinese fiction Dystopias in literature Historical fiction, Chinese Literatur in anderen Sprachen HISTORY / Modern / 20th Century bisacsh LITERARY CRITICISM / Asian / General bisacsh Chinese fiction 20th century History and criticism Historical fiction, Chinese History and criticism Historischer Roman (DE-588)4025132-9 gnd rswk-swf Dystopie Literatur (DE-588)4202262-9 gnd rswk-swf Chinesisch (DE-588)4113214-2 gnd rswk-swf Moderne (DE-588)4039827-4 gnd rswk-swf Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd rswk-swf China (DE-588)4009937-4 gnd rswk-swf China (DE-588)4009937-4 g Moderne (DE-588)4039827-4 s Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 s Historischer Roman (DE-588)4025132-9 s Dystopie Literatur (DE-588)4202262-9 s 1\p DE-604 Chinesisch (DE-588)4113214-2 s Geschichte 1980-2000 z 2\p DE-604 http://www.degruyter.com/doi/book/10.7312/kink16768 Verlag Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
