Socialist Cosmopolitanism offers an innovative interpretation of literature from the Mao era, proposing to read Chinese socialist literature as world literature. China after 1949 engaged with the world beyond its borders in myriad ways and on many levels—political and economic, cultural as well as literary. Far from rejecting the worldliness of earlier eras, Nicolai Volland demonstrates, the young People's Republic developed its own cosmopolitanism. Rather than a radical break with the past, Chinese socialist literature should be seen as an integral and important chapter of China's long search to find a place within world literature. Socialist Cosmopolitanism revisits a range of genres, from poetry and land reform novels to science fiction and children's literature, and shows how Chinese writers and readers alike saw their own literary production as part of a much larger literary universe. This literary space, reaching from Beijing to Berlin, from Prague to Pyongyang, from Warsaw to Moscow to Hanoi, allowed authors and texts to travel, in the course reinventing the meaning of world literature. Chinese socialist literature is driven by a hugely ambitious—and ultimately doomed—attempt to redraw the literary world map.
刚刚混入一个“老毛历史”的研讨会,见到了作者本人。作者想要用Cosmopolitanism这种西方 Framework去切入到毛时期的文学,也同时去区分社会主义常常提到的“Internationalism"。几种文学类型在本书中的介绍相得益彰。然而作者对于Cosmopolitanism这一概念并没有进行过多“对话性”的梳理。总觉得在读过阿皮亚的Ethics under Cosmopolitanism或者德里达式解构主义下的Hospitality, 作者所给与的Worldliness是不是有点太简单了。。。不过第一章所提到的Utilitarianism of Cultural Production对我论文帮助很大。
评分这书一上市我就买来看,五十多刀呀,没想到这么快就出pdf了

评分是过的去的对于苏联文学的翻译/影响研究,但硬要往北美比较文学界流行的world literature, cosmopolitanism上硬拽,概念和事实常常脱节,并没有看出来哪里很有效地对上话了(好些时候也放弃对话了)。主体五章cover四种genre(土改小说、工业小说、科幻小说、儿童小说)和《译林》杂志,述大于论,时有缺乏证据的猜测。第二章谈到苏联-中国-朝鲜农业文学的多重时间性(既是同时代呼应,又以苏联的先进发展为目标时间线)和东北亚的liminal space of nation算是个亮点。
评分很酷的一本书,一天读完。核心论点:共和国头十年的社会主义文学可以视为社会主义世界主义,并非与民国文学断裂,只是重新定义了世界主义,重新划定了文学的本初子午线。
