China's literary and cultural production at the turn of the
twenty-first century is marked by heterogeneity, plurality, and
diversity. Given its complexity, the literary/cultural production
of this period perhaps can be understood most productively as a
response to a global modernity that has touched and transformed all
aspects of contemporary Chinese reality. The eleven essays in this
book offer an introduction to some of the most important works
published at the turn of the twenty-first century. In combining
textual analysis of specific works with theoretical insights, and
in locating the texts in their sociocultural and socioeconomic
contexts, the essays explore key theoretical issues and
intellectual concerns of the time. They collectively draw a broad
contour of new developments, major trends, and radical changes,
capturing the intellectual and cultural Zeitgeist of the age. All
in all, these essays offer new theoretical approaches to, and
critical perspectives on, contemporary Chinese literature and
culture.
