In After the Post-Cold War eminent Chinese cultural critic Dai
Jinhua interrogates history, memory, and the future of China as a
global economic power in relation to its socialist past, profoundly
shaped by the Cold War. Drawing on Marxism, post-structuralism,
psychoanalysis, and feminist theory, Dai examines recent Chinese
films that erase the country's socialist history to show how such
erasure resignifies socialism's past as failure and thus forecloses
the imagining of a future beyond that of globalized capitalism. She
outlines the tension between China's embrace of the free market and
a regime dependent on a socialist imprimatur. She also offers a
genealogy of China's transformation from a source of revolutionary
power into a fountainhead of globalized modernity. This narrative,
Dai contends, leaves little hope of moving from the capitalist
degradation of the present into a radical future that might offer a
more socially just world.
