Hsiao-Yen Peng

The Dandy, the Flaneur, and the Translator in 1930s Shanghai, Tokyo, and Paris

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book views the Neo-Sensation mode of writing as a traveling genre, or style, that originated in France, moved on to Japan, and then to China. The author contends that modernity is possible only on "the transcultural site"-transcultural in the sense of breaking the divide between past and present, elite and popular, national and regional, male and female, literary and non-literary, inside and outside.
