Chinese Literature and Culture in the World

As China is becoming an important player on the world stage, Chinese literature is poised to change and reshape the overlapping, shared cultural landscapes in the world. This series publishes books that reconsider Chinese literature, culture, criticism, and aesthetics in national and international contexts and render China’s classical heritage and modern accomplishments as a significant part of world culture. By promoting works that cut across the divide between modernity and tradition, this series will aim to challenge the inequality and unevenness of the current world system and aspire to a prospect of the global cultural community. Imbued with a desire for mutual relevance and sympathy, the series strives to influence the dialogue regarding world culture. Ban Wang is the William Haas Professor in Chinese Studies at Stanford University, United States, and the Yangtze River Chair Professor at East China Normal University, China. He is currently the chair of Stanford’s Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures. His publications include The Sublime Figure of History: Aesthetics and Politics in Twentieth-Century China, Illuminations from the Past: Trauma, Memory, and History in Modern China, and History and Memory: In the Shadows of Globalization.
