Andrew F. Jones is Professor of Chinese at the University of California, Berkeley.
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.

文本細讀和大框架的勾勒都很精彩。一個疑問是在進化論的主導敘述之外,文本中多樣的時間感與當時其他西學思潮的關聯。瓊斯強調魯迅敘事形式的recursivity,也提到瞭永恒迴歸的概念,但沒有進一步闡述尼采對其的影響,乃至其他關於時間的論述如何與進化論時間觀發生互動。
評分探究魯迅寫作中的兒童形象,如何滲透瞭一種進化論的意識,成為與國傢民族的未來和命運緊密關聯的客體。
評分入手角度很小,發散地開。就是章與章之間的邏輯略含混,last chapter最有力度。
評分發展的話語是如何影響文學敘事的。從兒童的角度來分析問題特彆有意思。五四文學對於進化的前景焦慮與文學作品中産生的悖論性效果值得我們深究。
評分難為他想得齣來!鬼纔!
