Cultural Unconscious
‘Cultural unconscious’ is a vague term in literary and cultural studies. It has not yet been systematically examined from the conceptual standpoint. As a concept, it is not a simple idea that combines ‘culture’ and ‘unconscious’, but refers to the mechanism of cultural psychology and epistemology structured on the interaction of history, psychology, discourse, ideology and other factors. By investigating how culture and the unconscious work toget…
"Melancholia," Youyuzheng , and Yu
This essay examines "melancholia" ( youyuzheng ) as a notion introduced into Chinese society by the Chinese writer Yu Dafu in his novella Sinking .

Routledge Handbook of Modern Chinese Literature
The Routledge Handbook of Modern Chinese Literature presents a comprehensive overview of Chinese literature from the 1910s to the present day. Featuring detailed studies of selected masterpieces, it adopts a thematic-comparative approach. By developing an innovative conceptual framework predicated on a new theory of periodization, it thus situates Chinese literature in the context of world literature, and the forces of globalization. Each section…
A Cultural Ambassador East and West
Since 1988, Prof. J. Hillis Miller has traveled to China over a dozen times and delivered more than thirty public lectures to an audience of college professors, students, scholars, and artists from a broad spectrum of Chinese society. His lectures aroused immense interest from Chinese academia as well as local and national media. It may well be claimed that he is the most influential among Western scholars who have actually traveled to China sinc…
Momentary Return of the Cosmic Unconscious
Zen/Chan, which used to be a Far Eastern philosophy-cum-religion, has evolved into a global cultural phenomenon. Despite the many views expressed by numerous thinkers in the world, the consensus on Chan and Chan enlightenment remains an agnostic Oriental mysticism. By exploring Chan and enlightenment from a combined perspective of history, philosophy, psychology, religion and linguistics, this article proposes a hitherto unexpressed view. Chan en…
Postmodern Narrative without Postmodern Conditions
Postmodern Narrative without Postmodern Conditions:Home-Made Modernism in Lu Xun’s Old Tales Retold Ming Dong Gu (bio) Postmodernism arose in response to or in reaction against modernism in the West. Geo-culturally recognized as a Western phenomenon, it gradually spread its impact to third-world countries, which are, as a rule in modern times, on the receiving end. Since the arrival of Western literary theories, Chinese literary terms have gradua…
Sinologism
Why, for centuries, have the West and the world continuously produced China knowledge that deviates from Chinese realities? Why, since the mid-nineteenth century, have Chinese intellectuals oscillated between commendation and condemnation of their own culture, and between fetishization and demonization of all things Western? And why have some of the world’s wisest thinkers expressed opinions on Chinese culture, which are simply wrong? In order to…
The Filial Piety Complex
The Oedipus complex is central to Western tradition, but not to Chinese culture. Occurrence of oedipal themes in Chinese literature is almost negligible. This phenomenon seems to support a contra-Freud claim: that a theory of European origin, the Oedipus complex, is not universal to human experience in non-Western cultures. However, this article suggests that powerful moral repression may cause the Oedipus complex to undergo structural transforma…
The Zhouyi (Book of Changes) as an Open Classic
The Zhouyi is the first of the Chinese classics and has, since medieval times, fascinated scholars from different parts of the world, who have produced numerous studies and expressed a dazzling array of views on its nature. It is argued that the Zhouyi has retained its exalted status and enduring appeal largely because it is an open book amenable to all kinds of appropriations and manipulations, and its openness comes from its being a semiotic sy…

Mimetic Theory in Chinese Literary Thought
In the field of Chinese and comparative literature, a scholarly consensus holds that the idea of mimesis is not entirely absent, but a mimetic theory of literature is nonexistent in the Chinese tradition. The assumed absence of mimetic theory has become the basis for a fundamental dichotomy between Chinese expressive views and Western mimetic views of literature. This essay presents solid evidence to prove the contrary. By constructing a Chinese …
Is Mimetic Theory in Literature and Art Universal
Mimesis is one of the most fundamental ideas in Western poetics. Mimetic theories constitute a mainstream in Western aesthetics. In comparative studies of Chinese and Western poetics, however, there exists a widely accepted opinion that mimetic theory is a cultural invention unique to the Western tradition. And on this scholarly consensus has been constructed a fundamental dichotomy, ramifying into a series of binary oppositions: the metaphorical…

Aesthetic Suggestiveness in Chinese Thought
Suggestiveness is a major theoretical category in Chinese aesthetic thought. Within the broader context of Chinese tradition, it is a product of the interpenetration of and exchanges between philosophical and artistic discourses. Despite its prevalence in Chinese aesthetic thought, suggestiveness has never been examined as an aesthetic category in its own right, nor have its implications been explored in relation to contemporary theories. This es…
