Product Description
Occidentalism: A Theory of Counter-Discourse in Post-Mao China Paperback November 11, 2002
About This Item
Introducing "Occidentalism: A Theory of Counter-Discourse in Post-Mao China 2nd Edition Paperback" Delve into the fascinating world of China's response to Occidentalism theory with "Occidentalism: A Theory of Counter-Discourse in Post-Mao China." This compelling 2nd edition paperback, written by Xiaomei Chen, offers a unique perspective on the relationship between China and the West. Chen's innovative and thought-provoking study challenges Edward Said's notion of Orientalism as the dominant construction of the silenced Other. Instead, Chen argues that Chinese Occidentalism represents a diverse and multifaceted interpretation of the Western world. Through a meticulous analysis of select developments in post-Mao poetry and spoken drama, Chen uncovers how the Chinese public deliberately and productively misreads Western cultural texts for internal political purposes. By weaving together voices from different social, political, and gender groups, Chen creates a polyphonic history of cultural relations.
This comprehensive exploration of counter-discourse in post-Mao China offers a refreshing alternative to essentializing categories such as "East" and "West." As you navigate through the pages of "Occidentalism: A Theory of Counter-Discourse in Post-Mao China," you will gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of cultural exchange and the ways in which the Western Other, too, contributes to the invention of the West. Chen's lucid arguments, convincing insights, and elegant writing style make this book a major contribution to East-West studies, comparative literature, and cultural hermeneutics. Xiaomei Chen, associate professor of Chinese and comparative literature at The Ohio State University, brings her expertise and insider's perspective to shed light on the limitations of oppositional modes of thought. With her previous works including "Acting the Right Part: Political Theater and Popular Drama in Contemporary China" and "Reading the Right Texts: An Anthology of Contemporary Chinese Drama with a Critical Introduction," Chen's expertise in the subject matter is unparalleled. If you are fascinated by literature's ability to transcend borders, cultures, and politics, "Occidentalism: A Theory of Counter-Discourse in Post-Mao China" is a must-read.
Explore the intriguing dynamics between China and the West, examine the influence of Occidentalism theory on post-Mao China, and unravel the intricate tapestry of counter-discourse movements in this captivating book. Grab your copy of "Occidentalism: A Theory of Counter-Discourse in Post-Mao China 2nd Edition Paperback" now and embark on a journey that challenges traditional views and offers new perspectives on the cultural dialogue between East and West.
