Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Whampoa Military Academy was China's first modern military institution. For decades the "Spirit of Whampoa" was invoked as the highest praise to all Chinese soldiers who guarded their nation heroically.

In 1949 the Communists exiled a million soldiers and their families to compounds in Taiwan and cut off communication with mainland China for forty years.

Literary Culture in Taiwan: Martial Law to Market Law
ISBN: 9780231132343 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) With monumental changes in the last two decades, Taiwan is making itself anew. The process requires remapping not only the country's recent political past, but also its literary past. Taiwanese literature is now compelled to negotiate a path between residual high culture aspirations and the emergent reality of market domination in a relatively autonomous, increasingly professionalized field. This book argues that the concept of a field of cultural production is essential to accounting for the ways in which writers and editors respond to political and economic forces. It traces the formation...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Few people beyond the shores of Taiwan are aware that it is home to a population of indigenous peoples who for more than fifteen thousand years have lived on the island. Over the years, through the Chinese imperial period, the Japanese occupation, and for most of the twentieth century, the indigenous peoples of Taiwan were marginalized and deprived of rights.

With its intense and lyrical explorations of a...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Jia Pingwa, whose novels have caused both fame and controversy, has an enormous readership throughout the Chinese speaking world. However, despite Pingwa's cultural significance and the use of his poetry, novels and prose in schools and universities, there has never been any substantial academic study of the writer and his writings. Filling that gap, this book examines the corpus of Pingwa's writing and emphasizes his importance, prominence and relevance to contemporary Chinese society. This pioneering study discusses Pingwa's works in the light of 'cultural nationalism',...

The Monster That Is History: History, Violence, and Fictional Writing in Twentieth-Century China
ISBN: 9780520238732 / Angielski / Miękka / 402 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In ancient China a monster called Taowu was known for both its vicious nature and its power to see the past and the future. Over the centuries Taowu underwent many incarnations until it became identifiable with history itself.

Moving effortlessly across the entire twentieth-century literary landscape, David Der-wei Wang delineates the many meanings of Chinese violence and its literary manifestations. Taking into account the campaigns of violence and brutality that have...

Competing Discourses: Orthodoxy, Authenticity, and Engendered Meanings in Late Imperial Chinese Fiction
ISBN: 9780674005129 / Angielski / Twarda / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In the traditional Chinese symbolic vocabulary, the construction of gender was never far from debates about ritual propriety, desire, and even cosmic harmony. Competing Discourses maps the aesthetic and semantic meanings associated with gender in the Ming-Qing vernacular novel through close readings of five long narratives: Marriage Bonds to Awaken the World, Dream of the Red Chamber, A Country Codger's Words of Exposure, Flowers in the Mirror, and A Tale of Heroic Lovers. Epstein argues that the authors of these novels manipulated gendered terms to achieve structural coherence. These...

Desire and Fictional Narrative in Late Imperial China
ISBN: 9780674005136 / Angielski / Twarda / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In this new study of desire in Late Imperial China, Martin W. Huang argues that the development of traditional Chinese fiction as a narrative genre was closely related to changes in conceptions of the fundamental nature of desire. He further suggests that the rise of vernacular fiction during the late Ming dynasty should be studied in the context of contemporary debates on desire, along with the new and complex views that emerged from those debates. Desire and Fictional Narrative in Late China shows that the obsession of authors with individual desire is an essential quality that defines...

Articulated Ladies: Gender and the Male Community in Early Chinese Texts
ISBN: 9780674005273 / Angielski / Twarda / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This volume analyses the representation of gender and desire in elite, male-authored literary texts in China dating from roughly 200 b.c. until 1000 a.d. Above all, it discusses the intimate relationship between the representation of gender and the political and social self-representations of elite men and shows where gender and social hierarchies cross paths. Rouzer argues that when male authors articulated themselves as women, the resulting articulation was inevitably influenced by this act of identification. Articulated women are always located within a non-existent liminal space between...

Writing and Materiality in China: Essays in Honor of Patrick Hanan
ISBN: 9780674010987 / Angielski / Twarda / 620 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Speaking about Chinese writing entails thinking about how writing speaks through various media. In the guises of the written character and its imprints, traces or ruins, writing is more than textuality. The goal of this volume is to consider the relationship of writing to materiality in China's literary history and to ponder the physical aspects of the production and circulation of writing. To speak of the thing-ness of writing is to understand it as a thing in constant motion, transported from one place or time to another, one genre or medium to another, one person or public to another.
