Masculinity Besieged? - Issues of Modernity and Male Subjectivity in Chinese Literature of the Late Twentieth Century

"This is an outstanding book. Rarely does one come across a work in the China field that considers gender and related theoretical issues with as deep a sense of history as does this one. Zhong's scholarship provides us with extraordinary new insights into the cultural politics of post-Mao China in the 1980s."--Lydia Liu, University of California, Berkeley

Riassunto

Looks at Chinese literature and films produced during the 1980s to examine male subjectivities in contemporary China. Reading through a feminist psychoanalytic lens, this book argues that understanding the nature of male subjectivities as portrayed in literature and film is crucial to understanding China's quest for modernity.
