On the Horizon of World Literature: Forms of Modernity in Romantic England and Republican China
ISBN: 9798887193458 / Rosyjski / Twarda / 2023 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. On the Horizon of World Literature compares literary texts from asynchronous periods of incipient literary modernity in different parts of the world: Romantic England and Republican China. These moments were oriented alike by “world literature” as a discursive framework of classifications that connected and re-organized local articulations of literary histories and literary modernities. World literature thus provided—and continues to provide—a condition of possibility for conversation between cultures as well as for their mutual provincialization.

Dialect and Nationalism in China: 18601960
ISBN: 9798887193687 / Rosyjski / Twarda / 2023 / 404 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Taking aim at the conventional narrative that standard, national languages transform 'peasants' into citizens, Gina Anne Tam centers the history of the Chinese nation and national identity on fangyan - languages like Shanghainese, Cantonese, and dozens of others that are categorically different from the Chinese national language, Mandarin. She traces how, on the one hand, linguists, policy-makers, bureaucrats and workaday educators framed fangyan as non-standard 'variants' of the Chinese language, subsidiary in symbolic importance to standard Mandarin. She simultaneously highlights, on the...

ISBN: 9798887190594 / Rosyjski / Twarda / 2022 / 426 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Intoxicating Manchuria reveals how the powerful alcohol and opium industries in Northeast China were altered by warlord rule, Japanese occupation, political conflict, and a vigorous anti-intoxicant movement.
