The Lost Geopoetic Horizon of Li Jieren

The Crisis of Writing Chengdu in Revolutionary China

By: Kenny Kwok-kwan Ng

Engaged with the paradigms of cultural geography, local history, spatial politics, and everyday life, The Lost Geopoetic Horizon of Li Jieren unveils a Sichuan writer’s lifelong quest: an independent historical fiction writing project on Chengdu from the turn of the century through China’s 1911 Revolution. Kenny Kwok-kwan Ng's study illuminates the crisis of writing home in a globalized age by rescuing Li Jieren’s repeatedly revised but never finished river-novel series written from Republican to Communist China, struggling to liberate local memory from the national cum revolutionary currents. The book undercuts official historiography and rewrites Chinese literary history from the ground up by highlighting Li’s resilient geopoetics of writing that decenters the nation by adopting the place-based view of a distant province.

Paradigm City

Space, Culture, and Capitalism in Hong Kong

By: Janet Ng

Materially grounded analysis of contemporary film, literature, and music in Hong Kong that resists the superficial stereotypes of the global city. Hong Kong is often cast in the role of the paradigmatic global city, epitomizing postmodernism and globalization, and representing a vision of a cosmopolitan global and capitalist future. In Paradigm City, Janet Ng takes us past the obsession with 1997the year of Hong Kongs return to Chinato focus on the complex uses and meanings of urban space in Hong Kong in the period following that transfer. She demonstrates how the design and ordering of the citys space and the practices it supports inculcates a particular civic aesthetic among Hong Kongs population that corresponds to capitalist as well as nationalist ideologies. Ngs insightful connections between contemporary film, literature, music and other media and the actual spaces of the citysuch as parks, shopping malls, and domestic spacesprovide a rich and nuanced picture of Hong Kong today. Paradigm City is pleasant reading and conveys quite comprehensively the complex socio-political dynamics of a city that has yet to find a clear identity in the midst of a seemingly never-ending transition. China Journal covers much in a quite interesting way. CHOICE
