Download or read book Words and Their Stories written by Ban Wang and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2010-10-05 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As China joins the capitalist world economy, the problems of social disintegration that gave rise to the earlier revolutionary social movements are becoming pressing. Instead of viewing the Chinese Revolution as an academic study, these essays suggest that the motifs of the Revolution are still alive and relevant. The slogan “Farewell to Revolution” that obscures the revolutionary language is premature. In spite of dislocations and ruptures in the revolutionary language, to rethink this discourse is to revisit a history in terms of sedimented layers of linguistic meanings and political aspirations. Earlier meanings of revolutionary words may persist or coexist with non-revolutionary rivals. Recovery of the vital uses of key revolutionary words proffers critical alternatives in which contemporary capitalist myths can be contested.

It can also teach you how to play the instrument and can give you valuable information about the art scene from an industry insider. Living and working in Beijing, China for more than ten years Rene Bernard is a performer of Chinese Kuaiban: In this popular Chinese oral story-telling art form a rhythm is created by bamboo clappers. On that rhythm the performer tells the story in rhymes.

Another focus is the related Chinese-foreign exchange via Kuaiban as well as its advantages for learning Chinese. In this context the work is a mixture of a monograph, a textbook and a non-fiction book. As his target groups are foreigners and Chinese alike, the book is written in English and Chinese, includes a lot of pictures and graphics with a total of 330 A5 pages. After his first contact with Kuaiban in 2007 and after graduating with a major in Chinese Studies Rene has lived in China since 2011 and constantly developed his Kuaiban performing skills.

Download or read book Amy Tan written by Mary Ellen Snodgrass and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-01-24 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mid-1980s, Amy Tan was a successful but unhappy corporate speechwriter. By the end of the decade, she was perched firmly atop the best-seller lists with The Joy Luck Club, with more popular novels to follow. Tan's work--once pigeonholed as ethnic literature--resonates with universal themes that cross cultural and ideological boundaries, and prove wildly successful with readers of all stripes. Tender, sincere, complex, honest and uncompromising in its portrayal of Chinese culture and its affect on women, Amy Tan's work earned her both praise and excoriation from critics, adoration from fans, and a place as one of America's most notable modern writers. This reference work introduces and summarizes Amy Tan's life, her body of literature, and her characters. The main text is comprised of entries covering characters, dates, historical figures and events, allusions, motifs and themes from her works. The entries combine critical insights with generous citations from primary and secondary sources. Each entry concludes with a selected bibliography. There is also a chronology of Tan's family history and her life. Appendices provide an overlapping timeline of historical and fictional events in Tan's work; a glossary of foreign terms found in her writing; and a list of related writing and research topics. An extensive bibliography and a comprehensive index accompany the text.
Download or read book Chinese Educated Youth Literature written by Gabriel F. Y. Tsang and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-14 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the literary history of the zhiqing, Chinese educated youth, during the liberal 1980s era of the PRC. By incorporating personal experiences, literary representation, shared history, and theory, it argues that attention to bodies’ physical/physiological condition, as represented in their fictional works, can reveal their attitudes toward the shifting and anomalous socio-political environments, both at the time of their rustication in Mao Zedong’s era and at the time of writing about their experiences in Deng Xiaoping’s cities. It highlights the ideological transformation of educated youth writers’ malleable fictional bodies, which preserved and encoded their private ambivalence and dynamic compromises with political and literary dilemmas. By studying these "fictional bodies," this book deciphers the specific significance of labor, hunger, disability, and sexuality, negating the simplification of the fabricated embodiment as only containing and delivering iconoclastic spirit, sincere patriotism, personal struggle, socialist ideological control, and feminine self-consciousness. Exploring the community of Chinese educated youth, of which Xi Jinping was one, this will be a valuable resource to students and scholars of Comparative literature, Modern Chinese literature, and Modern Chinese history.
