Este episódio oferece duas discussões pelo preço de uma! Começamos refletindo sobre 'exofonia', ou seja, sobre a literatura escrita em língua estrangeira. Sabe o Joseph Conrad ou o Nabokov? É por aí... Falamos sobre várias escritoras e escritores que compuseram suas obras em múltiplas línguas, já aproveitando para discutir Literatura Africana (Chinua Achebe, Chimamanda Adichie, Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o), Pós-colonial (Jhumpa Lahiri, Khalil Gibran) e Global (Yoko Tawada, Ba Jin, Eileen Chang, Chinghiz Aitmatov). Falamos também de um lado de Fernando Pessoa que você não conheceu: sua vida na África e seus poemas em inglês e francês! Really, c'est la vérité. Na segunda parte, falamos sobre os hospitais e o seu potencial dramático na literatura através da novela "Paseo de la Reforma" da autora franco-mexicana Elena Poniatowska.

Kristin Stapleton’s new book opens onto a political crisis in China, and into a spirit of reform touched off by student demonstrations on May 4, 1919. Ba Jin was a teenager from a well-off family in Chengdu during this period. He wrote three popular novels Family, Spring, and Autumn, collectively known as the Turbulent Stream trilogy set in the reformist 1920s and in his hometown of Chengdu. Fact in Fiction: 1920s China and Ba Jin’s Family (Stanford University Press, 2016) focuses on one of them–Family– in order to look carefully at the ways that Chengdu in the May Fourth era inspired Ba Jin’s fiction. Each chapter takes one or more characters in the trilogy as its starting point, and the chapters collectively explore some central themes, including the physical transformation of Chinese cities in the early twentieth century, patriarchy and the Confucian family, militarist politics and Chinese cities in the first decades of the twentieth century, and the effects of revolutions in cultural values and social structure in the early twentieth-century on Chinese families and cities. Stapleton pays careful attention to many different kinds of members of the urban community in 1920s Chengdu: laborers, entrepreneurs, beggars and slaves, merchants, soldiers, students, the foreign community. The result is not only a pleasure to read, but will also be exceptionally useful to teach with! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What does it mean to be young? Mingwei Song‘s new book explores this question in the context of a careful study of the nature and significance of the discourse of youth in modern China. Young China: National Rejuvenation and the Bildungsroman, 1900-1959 (Harvard University Asia Center, 2016) investigates the discursive construction of youth’s symbolic meanings and to explore how these meanings underlie the novelistic narrative of modern Chinese youths’ personal development. Song situates the study within a broader narrative of the emergence and development of the Chinese Bildungsroman in careful analyses of works like Wu Jianren’s The New Story of the Stone (with its figure of the old youth), Chen Duxiu’s New Youth journal, Ye Shengtao’s Ni Huanzhi, and the work of Ba Jin, Lu Ling, Lu Qiao, Yang Mo, Wang Meng, and much much more. The book concludes by looking at the contemporary science fiction of Liu Cixin. It’s fascinating work, well worth reading for anyone interested in modern Chinese literature and/or the history of youth! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Att Han Han skulle ta på sig uppgiften att bli den första framgångsrike och upp­seendeväckande skändaren av Kinas litterära kanon kommer knappast som någon över­raskning. Han Han som inte bara är det senaste årtiondets bästsäljande författare, med högskoleromanen Tre sorters dörrar från år 2000, såld i mellan en och två miljoner exemplar, utan också en fram­stående rally-förare, Kinas (och sannolikt världens) mest kände och läste bloggare, nyligen också grundare av en sällsynt säljande tidskrift Duchang tuan (Solistkom­paniet), och, till nöds, sångare och därtill, förstås, populär medverkande i allsköns tv-program. När han och hans medbrottsling Chen Danqing i ett tv-program 2008 gick till angrepp mot Kinas litterära kanon, med de opetbara giganterna Mao Dun, Bing Xin och Ba Jin som främsta måltavlor, kunde det inte annat än ta hus i helsike.
