  • The Making of Barbarians

    Haun SaussyBOOKThe Making of Barbarians2022

    Debates on the canon, multiculturalism, and world literature often take Eurocentrism as the target of their critique. But literature is a universe with many centers, and one of them is China. The book offers an account of world literature in which China, as center, produces its own margins.

    Ernest Fenollosa, Ernest Francisco Fenollosa et al.EDITORBOOKThe Chinese Written Character as…2009

    First published in 1919 by Ezra Pound, Ernest Fenollosa’s essay on the Chinese written language has become one of the most often "ed statements in the history of American poetics. As edited by Pound, it presents a powerful conception of language that continues to shape our poetic and stylistic preferences: the idea that poems consist primarily of images; the idea that the sentence form with active verb mirrors relations of natural force. But prev…
