Lee, Hyuk. "The Boundary between Fiction and Non-fiction: Focusing on the Yan Lianke’s Novel Blind Date, Clear Night". Asia Cultural Creativity Institute 2, n.º 2 (31 de diciembre de 2022): 43–55. http://dx.doi.org/10.54385/cbt.2022.2.2.43.
Texto completoResumen
Yan Lianke’s Blind Date, Clear Night is a novel with a strong transformation into a kind of curtain call that conveys a different direction of raising questions compared to the previously published work. What method was more important to him than what he wrote. If the article is intended to restore humanity by exposing its wounds as a huge media outlet, such as criticism of revolutionary ideology that overwhelms mankind, false consciousness of intellectuals, and suffering and anger of the Chinese people, it is a confession and reflection. In this “Quick Seeking Co-sleeping”, he once again implemented this “wild” to the end. The whole book tells a fictional story under non-fiction in a completely new way, and reality and fiction are constantly blended, blurring the relationship between the two.
Yan Lianke’s can feel three major changes in his 20-year career as a writer. First of all, his writing was very realistic in the early days, but later on, it became more complicated by combining irrationality with various elements such as modernism, postmodernism, magic realism, black humor, and dreams. Second, writing for literature and freedom, even if it is no longer published, and third, thinking and efforts as “intellectuals” as much as possible, not just as a novelist, are important factors in the three changes.
Yan Lianke’s novels are known in literary circles as “surrealism”. Speaking of realistic literary creation, Yan Lianke sighed: “Realism is not only about writing about people, it would be too shallow to limit realism to the description of social ecology.” Realist literature is not just about people and human nature, but about the survival dilemma of the whole person. If you want to write about the dilemma deeply, you have to learn to observe, and sometimes it is more important to observe other people’s lives than to observe your own life.”

Kyan, Winston. "The queer art of Yan Xing: Towards a global visual language of sex, desire and diaspora". Journal of Contemporary Chinese Art 9, n.º 1 (1 de julio de 2022): 157–75. http://dx.doi.org/10.1386/jcca_00060_1.
Texto completoResumen
This article discusses the work of Yan Xing, who has established an international career as a Chinese diaspora artist. This transnational identity, however, raises certain questions, including how Yan Xing’s work changed from when he lived in China to when he became a US resident in 2015, and how these changes differ from the globalized art of earlier diasporic Chinese artists. Accordingly, this article first argues that overt references in Yan Xing’s earlier work to sex and sexuality shift to an exploration of desire, truth and fiction in his later work that aligns with discourses on queer diasporas and minor theories. Secondly, this article argues that the new generation of Chinese diaspora artists live and work in a different political climate from the earlier generation of Chinese diaspora artists; the new generation works in an art world in which they are not exoticized objects, but actively participates in the making of a global visual language.

Texto completoResumen
The writings of J.G. Ballard respond to the sciences in multiple ways; as such his (early) writing may productively be discussed as science fiction. However, the theoretical discipline to which he publicly signalled most allegiance, psychoanalysis, is one whose status in relation to science is highly contested and complex. In the 1960s Ballard signalled publicly in his non-fiction writing a belief in psychoanalysis as a science, a position in keeping with psychoanalysis’ contemporary status as the predominant psychological paradigm. Various early Ballard stories enact psychoanalytic theories, while the novel usually read as his serious debut, The Drowned World, aligns itself allusively with an oft-cited depiction by Freud of the revelatory and paradigm-changing nature of the psychoanalytic project. Ballard’s enthusiastic embrace of psychoanalysis in his early 1960s fiction mutated into a fascinatingly delirious vision in some of his most experimental work of the late 1960s and early 1970s of a fusion of psychoanalysis with the mathematical sciences. This paper explores how this ‘Marriage of Freud and Euclid’ is played out in its most systematic form in The Atrocity Exhibition and its successor Crash. By his late career Ballard was acknowledging problems raised over psychoanalysis’ scientific status in the positivist critique of Karl Popper and the work of various combatants in the ‘Freud Wars’ of the 1990s; Ballard at this stage seemed to move towards agreement with interpretations of Freud as a literary or philosophical figure. However, despite making pronouncements reflecting changes in dominant cultural appraisals of Freud, Ballard continued in his later writings to extrapolate the fictive and interpretative possibilities of Freudian and post-Freudian ideas. This article attempts to develop a deeper understanding of Ballard’s ‘scientific’ deployment of psychoanalysis in The Atrocity Exhibition and Crash within the context of a more fully culturally-situated understanding of psychoanalysis’ relationship to science, and thereby to create new possibilities for understanding the meanings of Ballard’s writing within culture at large.

Texto completoResumen
This article provides a feminist critique of representation, analysing the way sexual and racial others are represented in the work of the Afrikaans popular romantic fiction writer Sophia Kapp. Comparing her first three novels to the latest one, the article points to a development in her writing and tracks the changes it has undergone over the course of the almost ten years of Kapp's writing career. Starting off with exclusively white and heterosexual characters in her first novels, her latest novel includes a number of black and homosexual secondary characters. However, while these characters appear to be equal to the white hero and heroine, an analysis of their representation shows that they are rendered in such a way that they support the white heterosexual marriage as the unquestionable standard, and it becomes clear that the inclusion of sexual and racial others appears for the most part to be in the function of "surrogate and enabler" for the white heterosexual marriage ideal.

Texto completoResumen
We have hitherto only considered the viewpoint of men, but now it’s time to give women a fair shot as well. Every human being has the potential to learn about and advance science and technology, thus it is not only a field that is exclusively open to one gender. In movies, women play a supporting role for the men. An examination of the ways in which culture affects the evolving discussion of gender portrayals in cinema. Science fiction films are the ideal medium for discussing human habitation in the future because their content is an imaginative representation of civilization. Under the premise of a science fiction theme, it is necessary to re-examine and reinterpret the connection between genders considering modern technology. It has taken a while for the representation of women in movies to improve after years of under representation. Redemption of women altered significantly as nations advanced in modernity. The media had a significant impact on the modernization of societies and the perception of women in the contemporary world. Women are portrayed in modern movies as being more autonomous, self-assured, and career-focused. For example, Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), Avatar (2009), Mission Mangal (2019). As movies are a mirror of social structural changes, the goal is to connect the evolving roles performed by women in movies with the rising status of women. The hegemonic discourse of cinema that prescribes what constitutes appropriate gender roles. In order to achieve this, we will adopt a critical poststructuralist viewpoint on how body images are portrayed in well-known science fiction Movies that have been released in recent years. How women are portrayed throughout their development history using famous English-speaking science fiction films. The reflection and feedback of the sci-fi film as a social and cultural phenomenon on the reality of the western world. Sci-Fi movies can instruct and influence viewers in a useful way, such as by portraying positive female characters to encourage more women to shatter the stereotype and actively engage in science-related job or studies.

Texto completoResumen
Abstract Discussions of the conception of that exemplar of late-nineteenth-century and early-twentieth century urban modernity, the flâneur, have focused on both critique of the figure’s masculinity and more radical and nuanced conceptions of women’s flânerie. This article considers both the re-gendering and ungendering of flânerie in the character of three flâneuses in fiction published in the 1870s, 1880s and 1910s: Madame Sidonie, Henrietta Stackpole, and Elsie Bengough, and related dissonances and synergies in the career and work of London actress and cartoonist Marie Duval, active 1869–1885. It will argue that changes in types of reading supervened upon the boom in the production and distribution of serial publications during this period, resulting in the embodiment of new female professional identities, relative to both changing experiences of urban life and changing experiences of reading. The article makes a distinction between new ideas of these types of urban professional woman and the development of the identity of the New Woman after 1894. It examines the historic comprehensibility of the fictional flâneuses to readers of Zola, James, and Onions, according to the new opportunities and prohibitions that constituted the lived experiences of the developing urban entertainments industry of the period, in Duval’s comic strips and vignettes in the weekly London magazine Judy, or The London Serio-Comic Journal.

Texto completoResumen
Weepers I, II, III is a ficto-critical approach to the topic of hospitality, arising from the xacerbating conditions of academic, curatorial and institutional care. Ficto-criticism sidesteps the constraints of non-disclosure agreements and the strictures of the reputational economy, to instead posit a dreaming vision of colliding worlds and meanings.Weepers I, II, III, considers hospitality in three related short fiction works which address the figure of the academic curator: one is an exposition of the linked codes/spheres of migration/contemporary art as it relates to asylum, emancipation and the promise of art world economies by focusing on the conditions of the security guard within a major art museum; a second examines the self-determination of a series of ‘wipers’—carers hired, groomed, academicized and ultimately fetishized, to wipe the tears of crumbling academics as a form of corporeal hospitality; to a vignette of interspecies escape and conversion, following the heart attack and subsequent cellular changes that free the academic’s father from his former life. Through these interlinking stories of grief and loss, also come the act of naming and inventing, side-stepping instrumentalized forms of academic writing to posit a dream-time, a curatorial and academic imaginary that, freed from the reputational economy and non-disclosure clauses of the career curator, dares speak its name. In form and methodology, this approach suggests an approach to an opening and a form of resistance to hospitalality and its various forms.

Texto completoResumen
Abstract Scholars have questioned the veracity of F. Scott Fitzgerald's table of contents in Tales of the Jazz Age, especially with respect to his writing habits and creative process. Many contemporary critics thought his assertions were true, only weakening his authority; yet recent critical approaches recognize the pose Fitzgerald assumed. I argue that the table of contents falls within a line of authorial self-fashioning exercised by several past writers, and whether frivolous or satirical, lazy or self-critical, it places Fitzgerald within a significant authorial continuum, allowing his authority to function on a variety of planes. I aim to position this piece as a crucial nexus in the trajectory of Fitzgerald's professional writing career; by understanding the authorial means by which such a piece is created, one can trace the resulting effect it has on that text and the author's canon. Given the editorial considerations and market demands placed upon Fitzgerald in 1922, the table of contents for Tales of the Jazz Age shows an author at a turning point. This table of contents changes the way we read the fiction, and inevitably, the way we read Fitzgerald.

This chapter examines the careers of two of Kyiv’s most prominent Russophone authors, Andrei Kurkov and Alexei Nikitin, who had very different publication experiences both at home and abroad. I focus on the reception of their prose fiction in English translation in the US; since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2023, I have updated this chapter to address some of the sweeping, ongoing changes in Russophone culture and its perception in the west. My analysis draws on my extensive personal and professional relations with literary and scholarly figures in Ukraine, including the two authors under discussion and their publishers and translators.

Abstract Even in the case of the most important figures in antiquity, the information we possess about their early lives is scant at best. We do not know the year of birth for many famous people, and little is told to us about their education and early activities. Occasionally we are fortunate enough to have a few anecdotes about the childhood and youth of a prominent figure, but these too must be treated with great caution. Anecdotes are often transmitted orally for several generations before being written down and are thus subject to all the changes that this kind of source works on its material. The ancient historians themselves took little or no interest in the early lives of great men and tended instead to direct their attention primarily to battles and political events, which they felt to be the true subject matter of history. Biographies were written about remarkable individuals, but these were almost invariably com posed many years after the deaths of their subjects by writers who often had much the same sources as scholars today have. Consequently, these biographies rarely add much to our meager stock of information. When they do contain matter that is not found in other sources, it is unlikely to be the product of painstaking research. Rather, it is most probably a fiction invented by an imaginative biographer, who, frustrated by the paucity and dullness of the sources available to him, took the liberty of inventing sensational details.

Abstract The subject of my first two chapters was the discovery or fabrication, during the nineteenth century, of an ‘ecological niche’, in Ian Hacking’s phrase, within which the disease entity we now call paranoia might take shape, and within which it has survived, more or less intact, despite significant changes of emphasis, to this day. Early psychiatry’s symptomatologics and case-histories constituted a way to think about and to represent a certain kind of behaviour, a certain attitude: a kind of behaviour and an attitude, familiar enough in society at large, the extreme version of which the asylums were built to contain (and perhaps in some sense to preserve). In the chapters which follow, I shall explore a sample of nineteenth- and twentieth-century English fiction: a different way to define, and significantly redefine, the same kind of behaviour, the same attitude.

Texto completoResumen
Abstract The New Woman was a harbinger of change—in family life and culture, as well as in women’s existences—and it is about the turn-of-the century New Woman that much of Edith Wharton’s fiction revolves. Wharton herself was a product of many of the conflicts that the women’s movement had set off. She had to face the issues of what an appropriate life for a woman should be and to decide for herself whether or not to marry and bear children, whether she should have a career or profession or become the social butterfly her society preferred. Naturally, Wharton’s fiction would show her interest in the possibilities for changes in women’s lives in the twentieth century. In both England and the United States, many women were dissatisfied with their roles during the later part of the nineteenth century. Women of wealth wanted more than to be “protected,” but “the long, golden Edwardian garden-party”—with its emphasis on women as beautiful, innocent objects, the desirable icons of an acquisitive patriarchal culture—only reinforced the idea that women needed to be taken care of.1

While Harrington is best known as a political writer, he began his career as a poet. Chapter 8 argues that he never gave up his literary interests, that his political and literary writings were intertwined, and that his substantive arguments were reflected in the vocabulary and form of his works. Harrington coined new words or adapted old ones to reflect the revolutionary changes of the time. Both his hybrid constitutional vocabulary and Oceana’s composite form can be read as an embodiment of the combination of ancient, English, and modern practices that made up his system, and as a reflection of the idea that his model constitution would reconcile royalists and parliamentarians. Concerned that people find it difficult to understand written constitutional models, Harrington experimented with fiction, dialogue, and visualization to spark his audience’s imagination so that they could ‘experience’, and therefore come to understand and appreciate, his political model.

Texto completoResumen
Abstract Mrs Oliphant was only 35 and had half of her life still to come when she made this comparison of herself with Charlotte Bronte, who had died at the age of 39. Although she was nine years younger than her sovereign and was to predecease her by four years, her memories and her exceptionally long writing career effectively spanned the period normally characterized as ‘Victorian’. She shared to the full her age’s self-consciousness about the speed with which change was being effected and its passion for constant reassessment to determine whether change could be equated with progress.

Texto completoResumen
This chapter explores how Doris Lessing’s fiction might provide an unusually strong vehicle for thinking through some of the questions of scale which have become important to theoretical responses to environmental crisis. It traces how a split response to the problem of scale - for instance, how to bridge the gap between individual and larger community - becomes evident in The Four-Gated City (1969), and shapes how Lessing’s fiction develops from this point. The chapter argues that the turn to a concept of storytelling late in Lessing’s career, in novels such as Mara and Dann: an adventure (1999), is a result of her grappling with scalar difference, and a symptom of her ultimate pessimism about the chances of humanity adequately meeting the challenges it poses.

Abstract At the outset of her career as a Maga reviewer Mrs Oliphant drew a whimsical picture that seems to prefigure those brief portraits in which Virginia Woolf often sought to convey her sense of the difficulties against which women writers battled. In this passage Mrs Oliphant conjures up the complexity of the historical transformation she has observed. The Muse of History, a solemn matronly figure on a pedestal, who inspired the long line of male historians descending from Edward Gibbon, has metamorphosed into the woman as historian. The nineteenth-century Muse of History, substituted by Mrs Oliphant, has not just descended from her pedestal of classical privilege, but has quietly taken over and changed the nature of the historian’s profession. The figure serves as a fitting introduction for a chapter discussing the problems and opportunities faced by a professional woman writer conscious of entering a market-place so long dominated by male traditions and practices.

The book concludes with a discussion of the continued importance of this generation beyond the decade of the sixties. It traces the transformation of the sixties generation from an emerging group of writers to established members of the literary and cultural sphere in Egypt, who came to occupy positions of prominence in the field. It presents the career trajectories of the figures at the heart of this book including; the reception of their fiction; the conferral of awards; and the translation of their works. In doing so it also explores the impact of the sixties generation upon contemporary writers, particularly the nineties generation in Egypt. Despite the differences in political and ideological positions, the struggles of the writers of the sixties generation are not wholly divorced from those of their successors. Both were generations contending with the aftermath of revolutionary change, the realities of the failings of democratic projects, and the role of artists and intellectuals in confronting the injustices of the state. As the chapters of this book show, with the sixties generation came the disappearance of the idealised Egyptian nation in the novel. The works of their successors continue to grapple with its aftermath.

Mei Niang (1916-2013) enjoyed the longest career amongst those in Manchukuo’s “Manchurian writer group.” The century spanning Mei Niang's life witnessed dramatic, transformative change for both China and the world, and her experiences evoke a richly colourful, complex, and confusing history marked by political tensions. This chapter analyses important elements of the woman writer's professional career – from her use of local Northeastern words, Chinese translations of Japanese literature, and her award-winning novel Crabs. It argue that her fictional production during imperial Japan's occupation was not colonial per se but, rather, should be considered within the context of an extraordinary young woman’s experience of surviving colonialism and her perceptions of it.

Texto completoResumen
Arguing for the importance of e-learning in developing the engineering students' reading comprehension skills in English for achieving proficiency for academic and work purposes in the multicultural 21st century society, this paper shows that a special focus on using e-learning tools such as e-readers and certain recommended websites plays an important role in meeting our teaching objective and in fulfilling the students' educational needs. These e-learning tools motivate and encourage the engineering students to read at least a minimal bibliography in English to enable them to successfully meet the demands for professional communication, argumentation and writing in the English language seminars in a technical university. Using e-readers and the specialized websites, including the online libraries, to read English fiction and non-fiction to advance the engineering students' knowledge of English and to develop their reading comprehension skills for the Cambridge English exams, for academic and career purposes will lead to achieving proficiency in this foreign language. Not only will these e-learning tools help the students to advance their knowledge of English, but they will also enable them to broaden their cultural and knowledge horizon, to be up-to-date with the latest societal, career changes and challenges in our society. That is why this paper will enlarge upon: 1) the importance of using e-learning tools such as e-readers and specialized websites to develop the engineering students' reading comprehenshin skills in English for achieving proficiency in this language for academic and career purposes; 2) the students' perspective on the importance of e-learning tools for developing their reading comprehension skills in English; 3) a methodological approach to developing the engineering students' reading comprehenshion skills in English using e-learning tools. Being fond of using technology for e-learning purposes, the engineering students will be motivated to use e-readers to read more recommended English texts, including fiction, non-fiction and specialized technical literature, in order to develop their reading comprehension skills in English for linguistic, academic and career purposes.
