Chia-rong Wu - Böcker

This book delves into the evolving Southern discourse in Sinophone literature and explores its significance in the global context. Examining the Southern discourse not just within mainland China but also in the geographically and culturally southern regions, including Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and Australia, this book analyzes various critical themes, including transnational migration, racial dynamics and stereotypes, gender politics, indigenous awareness, cultural hybridity, and global connections between the South and North. Challenging existing frameworks and providing innovative perspectives on Sinophone literature’s Southern discourse, this book will appeal to students and scholars of Chinese literature, Asian literature, and comparative literature.

This book is an anthology of research co-edited by Dr. Chia-rong Wu (University of Canterbury) and Professor Ming-ju Fan (National Chengchi University). Focusing on the new directions and trends of Taiwan literature, this edited book fits into Taiwan studies, Sinophone studies, and Asian studies.
