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.

評分核心議題“failure”過於奪目,分析倒顯得沒有什麼意思。第五章通過討論張競生和潘光旦的論爭,以及丁玲、蕭紅的小說來分析“新女性”的建構,寫得好像...也沒多大意思。
評分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.
評分"the possibility of self-preservation lies in the desire for masochism and renunciation, the desire for failure." 感謝石老師這本書...感覺論文又可以寫的下去瞭T▽T
評分interesting discussion on 張競生 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?
