Ma Yuan: The Chinese Avant-Garde, Metafiction, and
Post-Postmodernism in the works of Ma Yuan provides the most
comprehensive study to date on one of China's most influential
contemporary authors, Ma Yuan. By engaging in close readings of
narratologically complex works of metafiction, the author offers a
reappraisal of the role Ma Yuan played within the rise of
postmodern fiction within China and offers new interpretive
possibilities for the Chinese Avant-Garde movement of the 1980s
through demonstrating that rather than being predominantly
'formalist word games' or 'narrative traps', Ma Yuan's works of
metafiction functioned as Foucauldian 'heterotopias' which allowed
for the creation of distinctly Post-modern and Post-socialist
'possible worlds'. This book also analyses Ma Yuan's recent
post-2000 output and in doing so explores the shifting dynamics of
literary self-reflexivity and the 'Post-postmodern' within the
contemporary context of 'Xi Jinping era modernity'. This book
argues that Ma Yuan's recent works display a distinct movement
towards 'metamodern' aesthetics alongside a rising anthropocenic
awareness and eco-consciousness which offer key insights into the
post-postmodern condition within a Chinese context.
