In Between East and West/Word and Image , Geng Youzhuang, one of
China's leading intellectuals, offers an original and sophisticated
analysis of both Western cultural and literary theory and
contemporary Chinese thought. In this fascinating exploration of
the respective intellectual traditions within China and the West,
Geng shows how the dynamics at work between word and image become a
parable for understanding the larger relationship between Chinese
and Western ideas. Geng first surveys influential Western thinkers
and their ideas, with a special focus on the relations between
words and things, signs and meanings, image and language. He next
explores the conflicted relationship between religion and
literature in the West. Finally, Geng turns his focus to China,
discussing the meaning and significance of sinology and the
possibilities of treating China as a sign and referent in
contemporary Western thinking. Anyone interested in the forces at
work within the intermingling of Eastern and Western literature,
writing, and the semiotics of culture, will find Between East and
West/Word and Image compelling.
