The Problem of a Chinese Aesthetic calls for and applies a new
model of comparative literature - one that, instead of taking for
granted the commensurability of traditions and texts, gives
incompatibility and contradiction their due. Exposing contemporary
literary theory to the risks of ancient Chinese literature (and
vice versa), this book considers a linked series of case studies.
To what degree does the translation between languages and texts
that we call comparative literature depend on allegory or
translation within a single text or language? The author offers an
important, new perspective on the reading of the Shih-ching or Book
of Odes and the question of allegory and metaphor in the Chinese
poetic tradition.
