Beschreibung
Spatial Literary Studies in China explores the range of vibrant and innovative research being done in China today. Chinese scholars have been exploring spatially oriented literary criticism in two different and mutually reinforcing directions: the first has focused on the study of Western literature, especially U.S. and European texts and theory, and the second has examined Chinese cultures, texts, and spaces. This collection of essays demonstrates Chinese scholars’ insightful interpretation, evaluation, and innovative application of international spatial analyses, theories, and methodologies, as well as their inspiring exploration and reconstruction of distinctively Chinese critical and theoretical discourses. For the first time in English, the essays in this volume demonstrate the vitality of literary geography, geocriticism, and the spatial humanities in China in the twenty-first century.

“Spatial Literary Studies in China is a well-made collection compounded of hopefulness and empirical insight that can help various disciplines grasp how we might begin to engage with literary studies in this transnational moment to understand issues of space, place, nation, and identity in a perilously globalizing world we face across shared pressures and tensions of the present and future.” (Rob Sean Wilson, Professor of Literature, Creative Writing, and Cultural Studies, University of California, Santa Cruz)
