Questioning the Chinese Model - Oppositional Political Novels in Early Twenty-First Century China (Hardcover)

In the early twenty-first century, the Chinese literary world saw
an emergence of fictional works - dubbed as "oppositional political
novels" - that took political articulation as their major purpose
and questioned the fundamental principles and intrinsic logic of
the Chinese model. Based on close readings of five representative
oppositional Chinese political novels, Questioning the Chinese
Model examines the sociopolitical connotations and epistemological
values of these novels in the broad context of modern Chinese
intellectual history and contemporary Chinese politics and society.
Zhansui Yu provides a sketch of the social, political, and
intellectual landscape of present-day China. He investigates the
dialectic relationship between the arts and politics in the Chinese
context, the mechanisms and dynamics of censorship in the age of
the Internet and commercialization, and the ideological limitations
of oppositional Chinese political novels. In the process of textual
and social analysis, Yu extensively cites Western political
philosophers, such as Hannah Arendt, Antonio Gramsci, Michel
Foucault, and references well-regarded studies on Chinese
literature, politics, society, and the Chinese intelligentsia.
Examining oppositional Chinese political novels from multiple
perspectives, Questioning the Chinese Model applies a broad range
of knowledge beyond merely the literary field.
