{"product_id":"gendered-memories-xian-wang-9780472057191","title":"Gendered Memories: An Imaginary Museum for Ding Ling and Chinese Female Revolutionary Martyrs","description":"\u003ci\u003eGendered Memories: An Imaginary Museum for Ding Ling and Chinese Female Revolutionary Martyrs\u003c\/i\u003e takes readers on a journey through the lives and legacies of Chinese female revolutionary martyrs, revealing how their sacrifices have been remembered, commemorated, and manipulated throughout history. This innovative book blends historical narratives with personal narratives, creating an \"imaginary museum\" where the stories of these women are brought to life. Author Xian Wang employs this imaginary museum to create a conceptual space mirroring an actual museum that juxtaposes historical narratives with counter-memories of Chinese female revolutionaries, such as the prominent writer Ding Ling. Exploring Ding's experiences with martyrdom and the commemoration of female revolutionary martyrs associated with her, the book provides a compelling argument that female revolutionary martyrdom reinforces, rather than rejects, the traditional concept of female chastity martyrdom. Narratives that challenge established gender norms, particularly those surrounding female chastity, have often been silenced or overlooked in the collective memory of these female revolutionary martyrs. By delving into these counter-memories, Wang provides fresh insights into gendered violence, memories, and politics in modern Chinese literature and culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Xian Wang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0472057197\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780472057191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Michigan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/04\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"Xian Wang","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46070214263039,"sku":"9780472057191","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e53e3298-55c2-48b1-899f-77ca0df73a81.jpg?v=1724242612","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gendered-memories-xian-wang-9780472057191","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
