How often do we think of cultural humiliation and failure as strengths? Against prevailing views on what it means to enjoy power as individuals, cultures, or nations, this provocative book looks at the making of cultural and national identities in modern China as building success on failure. It reveals the exercise of sovereign power where we least expect it and shows how this is crucial to our understanding of a modern world of conflict, violence, passionate suffering, and cultural difference.
"the possibility of self-preservation lies in the desire for masochism and renunciation, the desire for failure." 感谢石老师这本书...感觉论文又可以写的下去了T▽T
评分It places failure in a cultural context that gave rise to nationalism, race, and literary modernity in late nineteenth–and twentieth-century China, a period of struggle for cultural survival and attempted revitalization.
评分only read its book reviews
评分interesting discussion on 张竞生 and his projects, rich historical texts, yet the application of Freudian melancholia and masochism to Chinese cultural and social studies is not very convincing. How come people are still obsessed with the Freudian crap today?
评分many insights
