Essays on classic Chinese stories of the uncanny Since the Qing dynasty, Pu Songling's studio name, Liaozhai, has been shorthand for the Chinese story worlds of the ghostly and fantastic. These "strange" tales feature the supernatural along with oddities of the natural world; the human capacity for obsession, betrayal, and revenge; and the entanglements of family and political life. Intentionally blurring the line between fact and fiction, they critiqued the society of the author's day and continue to engage our imagination in the present. These short, gripping stories fit well in courses in Asian literatures and cultures, comparative literature, and speculative fiction. Part 1, "Materials," describes the author's life as well as the history of the manuscript, its many editions and translations, and its common themes. The essays in part 2, "Approaches," explore the contexts of the work, its adaptations and transformations, and its engagement with topics ranging from race and gender identity to otherworldly spirits and monsters.

Dieser dem 2008 emeritierten Zürcher Sinologen Robert H. Gassmann gewidmete Band enthält siebzehn Beiträge aus dem Kreis seiner Fachkolleginnen und -kollegen. Die einzelnen Studien umfassen historisch und disziplinär verschiedene Arbeitsbereiche des Faches Sinologie, von der Antike bis in die Gegenwart, von der Archäologie bis zur Kulturwissenschaft. Den Forschungsschwerpunkten Robert Gassmanns entsprechend bilden philologisch-historische Arbeiten zu chinesischen Texttraditionen einen Schwerpunkt. Daneben befassen sich mehrere Beiträge mit bestimmten Aspekten der Han-Zeit, mit den Grabfunden von Mawangdui und mit dem Zhuangzi.
