    For the most part, modern China’s institutions and modes of knowledge have been shaped and predominantly influenced by the West. Since the modern Chinese knowledge system is an integral and inseparable part of that dominant western system, an immanent critique will view Chinese problems not as extraneous, but as intrinsic to modernity, to the world-system or globalization. This article traces the genealogy of modern European modes of knowledge un…

  • Introduction

    Kang Liu, Liu KangARTICLEComparative Literature Studies2017Referências: 1

    After four years' interlude, we return to a special issue of Comparative Literature Studies (CLS), with a larger claim on East Asian comparative literature than the first one, “Modern China and the World: Literary Constructions” (CLS vol. 49, no. 4, 2012), to which I penned an introduction. The present volume, however, is not the second special issue on China-related topics. The second special issue, “Global Maoism and Cultural Revolution in the …

    The essay discusses the public opinion surveys on the rise of China in the United States, Asia and Latin America since 2010, conducted by Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Duke University’s collaborative research team headed by the author. It examines the world public recognition of China’s growing influence, their attitudes toward China’s influence, and reactions to the ‘China Model’ and impressions of China’s political, economic, social, and cu…

  • Maoism

    Kang Liu, Liu KangARTICLEComparative Literature Studies2015Citada por: 4

    Mao Zedong's legacy has an enduring global impact, as both a political foundation for the Chinese revolution and an ideology of revolution. This paper offers a brief account of Maoism as a knowledge and a theory of (alternative) modernity, and questions the contradictory and problematic nature of Maoism within the context of globalization. Meanwhile, I wish to point out some conditions of possibility embedded in such a genealogy of knowledge, whi…

  • Poeticizing Revolution

    Kang Liu, Liu KangARTICLEpositions asia critique2011Referências: 3

    Slavoj Žižek has recently written quite extensively on Mao and China. This article is a commentary on his writings. Tracing the genealogy of Western Marxism from Gramsci, Athusser, and Badiou to Žižek, I argue that Žižek's misreading of the Chinese Revolution, especially Mao's theory and practice, as well as his comments on contemporary China reveal his Eurocentric biases and a habit of aestheticizing or poeticizing revolutionary practice. Žižek'…

  • Popular Culture and the Culture of the Masses in Contemporary China

    Open AccessKang Liu, Liu KangCHAPTERPostmodernism and China2000

    Popular culture is perhaps the best place to test the claim that (capitalist) globalization is now an accepted reality, as the new world-space of cultural production and representation is inhabited by images and goods pertaining to the everyday life of the world population, that is, by images and goods that are manufactured by multinational corporations and circulated in a global market. China, the emergent economic giant of the 1990s, has caught…

    Liu Kang, Amita ShastriARTICLEBulletin of Concerned Asian…1997

    The editors specify two features of the historical moment in which this volume is conceived: the “end of communism,” which marks considerable loss of credibility for Marxism, and the expansion of global capitalism, which calls for a revitalization of Marxism. The entwining of both dying and reviving signs may well reflect the dialectic so dear to Marxian traditions, but now it is Marxism itself that must stand or fall as a system of thought. Sinc…

    Fredric Jameson, Liu Kang et al.BOOKPolitics, Ideology, and Literary…1993

    This collection of essays addresses the perception that our understanding of modern China will be enhanced by opening the literature of China to more rigorous theoretical and comparative study. In doing so, the book confronts the problematic and complex subject of China's literary, theoretical, and cultural responses to the experience of the modern. With chapters by writers, scholars, and critics from mainland China, Hong Kong, and the United Sta…
