About this book
Re-Thinking Literary China celebrates Andrea Riemenschnitter’s scholarly career and her influence on Chinese literary studies in Europe. Featuring contributions from colleagues, friends, and former students, the volume explores diverse topics, from the origins of "brainwashing," medieval rhetoric, late Qing vegetarian anarchists to the governance style of Empress Cixi, the fusion of Honglou meng with Harry Potter in internet literature to poetry in Chinese science fiction. Other chapters examine indigenous resistance to capitalist forces in Monsoon Asia, visual art by Cao Fei and Ai Weiwei, and the music of Taiwanese Hakka singer Lo Sirong. Additionally, the collection offers fresh perspectives on literary figures such as Jin Yong, Mo Yan, and Xi Xi, shedding light on their impact on Chinese and global literature. Through these and other themes, the book provides critical insights into the evolving intersections of history, politics, and literature in China and beyond, making ita valuable resource for scholars and readers interested in Asian literary culture.
