Socialist Cosmopolitanism pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
Socialist Cosmopolitanism offers an innovative interpretation of literature from the Mao era, proposing to read Chinese socialist literature as world literature. China after 1949 engaged with the world beyond its borders in myriad ways and on many levels—political and economic, cultural as well as literary. Far from rejecting the worldliness of earlier eras, Nicolai Volland demonstrates, the young People's Republic developed its own cosmopolitanism. Rather than a radical break with the past, Chinese socialist literature should be seen as an integral and important chapter of China's long search to find a place within world literature. Socialist Cosmopolitanism revisits a range of genres, from poetry and land reform novels to science fiction and children's literature, and shows how Chinese writers and readers alike saw their own literary production as part of a much larger literary universe. This literary space, reaching from Beijing to Berlin, from Prague to Pyongyang, from Warsaw to Moscow to Hanoi, allowed authors and texts to travel, in the course reinventing the meaning of world literature. Chinese socialist literature is driven by a hugely ambitious—and ultimately doomed—attempt to redraw the literary world map.
Nicolai Volland is assistant professor of Chinese and comparative literature at the Pennsylvania State University.
這是一個「英特納雄耐爾還是柯夢波丹」的問題。導論對世界文學的介入非常好。晚近北美世界文學論的問題就是把「世界」形容成一個貨暢其流的網絡,只不過有華勒斯坦式的「中心-邊陲」之分。本書提醒我們在冷戰期間「世界」曾經一分為二,兩陣營各自建構自己的文學世界觀,兩者卻又都認為自己的那套是唯一的世界觀,於是形成了一種既單一又二元的悖反。不過既然當時社會主義陣營通用的用語是「國際主義」,為什麼本書採用「世界主義」?用語的選擇本身也是一種後冷戰的癥候。書中對兒童文學的討論可以看成晚近對普羅文學新的關注方向,Samuel Perry 的 Recasting Red Culture in Proletarian Japan 也有專章討論。

评分这本书的argument超级简单: 从发掘1950s文学worldliness的角度重写一个更有连续性的文学史。但各章节的编排令人疑惑,主要是讨论四种不同的genre(农业,工业,科幻,儿童),但却对genre的选择没有过多解释,也看不出来它们之间的关系,进而有一种从不同材料翻来覆去重申一个论点的枯燥感。第二章讨论industrial fiction和最后讨论《世界文学》的时候,展开讲了讲socialist bloc内在的等级和第三世界。总体感觉是论点可能对于current scholarship比较新颖,但并不是很Inspiring

评分在Washington的AAS年会上见过作者本人,panel还请了Carlos Rojas主持。划重点:1950年代冷战格局的形成,两个不同的阵营从政治、经济、意识形态、文化和文学等方面提供了对于“世界”的不同想象:其中的任何一方都认为它们提供的才是真正的“世界”(the world),这一由冷战所提供的世界视野本身就是一个普世性的框架(a unversal framework)。这一框架既是摩尼教式的(Manichean),又是独白式的(monologic)的,既是单一的(singular)的,也是二元的(dualistic)的,这一基础上产生了两种对抗性的“世界文学”。
