{"product_id":"gender-politics-in-modern-china-tani-barlow-9780822313892","title":"Gender Politics in Modern China: Writing and Feminism","description":"Through the lens of modern Chinese literature, \u003ci\u003eGender Politics in Modern China\u003c\/i\u003e explores the relationship between gender and modernity, notions of the feminine and masculine, and shifting arguments for gender equality in China.\u003cbr\u003eRanging from interviews with contemporary writers, to historical accounts of gendered writing in Taiwan and semi-colonial China, to close feminist readings of individual authors, these essays confront the degree to which textual stategies construct notions of gender. Among the specific themes discussed are: how femininity is produced in texts by allocating women to domestic space; the extent to which textual production lies at the base of a changing, historically specific code of the feminine; the extent to which women in modern Chinese societies are products of literary canons; the ways in which the historical processes of gendering have operated in Chinese modernity vis à vis modernity in the West; the representation of feminists as avengers and as westernized women; and the meager recognition of feminism as a serious intellectual current and a large body of theory.\u003cbr\u003eOriginally published as a special issue of \u003ci\u003eModern Chinese Literature\u003c\/i\u003e (Spring \u0026amp; Fall 1988), this expanded book represents some of the most compelling new work in post-Mao feminist scholarship and will appeal to all those concerned with understanding a revitalized feminism in the Chinese context.\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eContributors\u003c\/i\u003e.
