The Beginnings of Mass Culture: Journalism and Fiction in the Late Ch’ing and Beyond
Some Notes on "culture", "Humanism", and the "Humanities" in Modern Chinese Cultural Discourses
This paper is written in response to the set of questions first raised by Professor Murray Krieger in the planning memo (October 1992) for the First International Conference For Humanistic Discourses [ Surfaces IV. 301-311 (1994)]. The first part of this paper attempts to give a broad survey of issues related to humanism and the humanities in 20th-century China. In recontextualizing some of the key terms in Chinese and their cultural translations…
City Between Worlds: My Hong Kong
Hong Kong is perched on the fault line between China and the West, a Special Administrative Region of the PRC. Leo Ou-fan Lee offers an insider's view of Hong Kong, capturing the history and culture that make his densely packed home city so different from its generic neighbors. The search for an indigenous Hong Kong takes Lee to the wet markets and corner bookshops of congested Mong Kok, remote fishing villages and mountainside temples, teahouses…
Ang Lee's Lust, Caution and Its Reception
This essay aims to gauge the different receptions of Ang Lee's recent film Lust, Caution between American and Chinese publics and across a cultural landscape of the pan-Chinese regions of Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. It also brings a contextual and historical dimension to bear on Ang Lee's intentions in making this film as well as on the differences of style and approach between Ang Lee and Eileen Chang, on whose original story the film…

It first discusses Hong Kong's identity question in light of the city's recent history, analyzing its origins and formation after the early 1970s (but the issue subsided after 1997). The second part of the essay deals more speculatively with Hong Kong future in relation with its past and present in terms of a conjunction of regionalism, n…
Reading between Chinese Modernism and Modernity: A Methodological Reflection
The appropriation of cultural capital: China's May Fourth Project
For much of the 20th century, the May Fourth movement of 1919 was seen as the foundational moment of modernity in China. Examinations of literary and cultural modernity in China have, however, led to a questioning of this view. By approaching May Fourth from novel perspectives, the authors of the eight studies in this volume seek to contribute to the ongoing critique of the movement. The essays are centred on the intellectual and cultural/histori…

Considering in detail both conservative and progressive stances on economic 'modernisation', it also demonstrates how film has been an…

Literary trends: The road to revolution 1927–1949
The success of the Communist Revolution stripped modern Chinese literature of its urban component. Most literary historians agree that the May Thirtieth incident marked a crucial turning point: modern Chinese literature moved, in the memorable phrase of Ch'eng Fang-wu, from ' literary revolution' to ' revolutionary literature'. The leadership of the league of Left-wing Writers consisted nominally of an executive committee of seven standing member…
