具体描述
What happens when language wars are not about hurling insults or quibbling over meanings, but are waged in the physical sounds and shapes of language itself? Native and foreign speakers, mother tongues and national languages, have jostled for distinction throughout the modern period. The fight for global dominance between the English and Chinese languages opens into historical battles over the control of the medium through standardization, technology, bilingualism, pronunciation, and literature in the Sinophone world. Encounters between global languages, as well as the internal tensions between Mandarin and other Chinese dialects, present a dynamic, interconnected picture of languages on the move. In "Sound and Script in Chinese Diaspora," Jing Tsu explores the new global language trade, arguing that it aims at more sophisticated ways of exerting influence besides simply wielding knuckles of power. Through an analysis of the different relationships between language standardization, technologies of writing, and modern Chinese literature around the world from the nineteenth century to the present, this study transforms how we understand the power of language in migration and how that is changing the terms of cultural dominance. Drawing from an unusual array of archival sources, this study cuts across the usual China-West divide and puts its finger on the pulse of a pending supranational world under 'literary governance.'

sound同script的概念好似阿姨自己都唔係冧得好清楚,講到“中文”腦中就充滿大陸和台灣,用極多含糊的形容詞化名詞去遊花園,最後又冇講咩嘢咁,重申下流行的問題...就完咗。況且,講本土問題時取徑“翻譯”固然合邏輯且紅,但做文學研究的要格硬規避人對地方和母語的情感歸屬,這樣想真的大丈夫嗎?
从language和diaspora的角度来提出与史书美教授不同的理解sinophone的方法,提倡sinophone处理的是diaspora与china的关系,而非完全断裂~~恩恩,其实是王德威教授在讲座时推荐的(。)
打著紅旗反紅旗,打著 Sinophone 反 Sinophone
很容易读。。。
"Literary governance" 之概念固然有些意思,但作者選用的個案並非都合適。關於陳季同的章節在重構歷史語境方面頗有可商榷之處,顯得過於“先入為主”。關於此點願與感興趣的諸豆友仔細討論。
