Cultural policy between the state and the market
China's spectacular economic development has altered radically not only the accepted understanding of the relationship between cultural work and the state, but also the social foundation of state cultural policy. Cultural industries are subject to a set of new regulatory forces. This essay discusses the emergence of these new forces that govern cultural work and considers how cultural practice must respond to both the state's political demands an…
Between knowledge and ‘plagiarism,’ or, how the Chinese language was studied in the West
To Be Worthy of the Suffering and Survival’
Around the mid-1980s a substantial number of Chinese authors started to write, beyond national and linguistic boundaries, about their traumatic experience during the Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966–1976). Jung Chang's Wild Swans (1991) is among the first and best-known titles in this emergent literary formation. Whether the memoirs are narrated by a former People's Liberation Army soldier, or a Red Guard, or an innocent subject drawn into the p…

English literary studies and China’s modernity
The reception of English literature in China is intertwined with China’s project of modernization in the twentieth century. This paper looks at English literature as a cultural formation as well as an academic discipline in China at three different historical periods: from the late nineteenth to the mid–twentieth centuries, from the early 1950s to the mid–1970s, and from the end of the Cultural Revolution to the present time. In outlining the his…

Focuses on the creation and establishment of critical theory system in China. Application of imported critical approaches and theoretical formulations; Distortion of Euramerican critical theories; Identification of traditional Chinese criticism; Inseparability of criticism and politics
Introduction
Introduction: Interdisciplinary perspectives on English in China
English in China
The research bibliography presented here is both a 'preliminary' and 'partial' bibliography. The core focus of the bibliography is on work published in English and available internationally, although, where possible, references have been made to relevant Chinese-language sources. Despite the obvious shortcomings, however, the authors hope that, given the general dearth of bibliographies of this kind, the following list of references will suppleme…
The Bathos of a Universalism
Inventing China
The history of western responses to the Chinese language begins with Matteo Ricci and Nicolas Trigault in the early seventeenth century, and the adoption in Trigault's 1626 dictionary of alphabetic phonetic symbols to explain the pronunciation of written Chinese characters. Trigault's work later influences John Wilkins' Essay Towards a Real Character and a Philosophical Language (1668), which in part details the 'imperfections' and 'faults' of th…
