In 1992 Deng Xiaoping famously declared, "Development is the only hard imperative." What ensued was the transformation of China from a socialist state to a capitalist market economy. The spirit of development has since become the prevailing creed of the People's Republic, helping to bring about unprecedented modern prosperity, but also creating new forms of poverty, staggering social upheaval, physical dislocation, and environmental destruction. In Developmental Fairy Tales, Andrew Jones asserts that the groundwork for this recent transformation was laid in the late nineteenth century, with the translation of the evolutionary works of Lamarck, Darwin, and Spencer into Chinese letters. He traces the ways that the evolutionary narrative itself evolved into a form of vernacular knowledge which dissolved the boundaries between beast and man and reframed childhood development as a recapitulation of civilizational ascent, through which a beleaguered China might struggle for existence and claim a place in the modern world-system. This narrative left an indelible imprint on China's literature and popular media, from children's primers to print culture, from fairy tales to filmmaking. Jones's analysis offers an innovative and interdisciplinary angle of vision on China's cultural evolution. He focuses especially on China's foremost modern writer and public intellectual, Lu Xun, in whose work the fierce contradictions of his generation's developmentalist aspirations became the stuff of pedagogical parable. Developmental Fairy Tales revises our understanding of literature's role in the making of modern China by revising our understanding of developmentalism's role in modern Chinese literature.

发展的话语是如何影响文学叙事的。从儿童的角度来分析问题特别有意思。五四文学对于进化的前景焦虑与文学作品中产生的悖论性效果值得我们深究。

Intriguing in many counts, but sadly not really one's field of interest. Although the introduction merits further reading.

感觉现在东亚系的研究路数很多都这样，从一篇极其短小的文本扩展出对于历史，时间，现代性等重要问题的考察，Rey Chow和Andrew Jones对于鲁迅的重读莫不如是。Andrew以鲁迅的《现代史》出发折射出“发展”这一话语内部的断裂和矛盾，很有意思，封面可爱！

很有灵气的研究者，大家都爱鲁迅，虽然他也不能说服我关于动物和小孩的问题
