The Lure of the Modern : Writing Modernism in Semicolonial China, 1917-1937 Paperback / softback
by Shu-mei Shih
Part of the Berkeley Series in Interdisciplinary Studies of China series
Paperback / softback
Description
Shu-mei Shih's study is the first book in English to offer a comprehensive account of Chinese literary modernism from Republican China.
In The Lure of the Modern, Shih argues for the contextualization of Chinese modernism in the semicolonial cultural and political formation of the time.
Engaging critically with theories of modernism, postcoloniality, and global and local cultural studies, Shih analyzes pivotal issues - such as psychoanalysis, decadence, Orientalism, Occidentalism, semicolonial subjectivity, cosmopolitanism, and urbanism - that were mediated by Japanese as well as Western modernisms.
