English Language, Literature & Culture 2016; 1(4): 53-57 http://www.sciencepublishinggroup.com/j/ellc doi: 10.11648/j.ellc.20160104.13 ISSN: 2575-2367 (Print); ISSN: 2575-2413 (Online) Mo Yan and Chinese Pastoral Literature Eyup Saritas Department of Chinese Language and Literature, Istanbul University, Istanbul, Turkey Email address: [email protected] To cite this article: Eyup Saritas. Mo Yan and Chinese Pastoral Literature. English Language, Literature & Culture. Vol. 1, No. 4, 2016, pp. 53-57. doi: 10.11648/j.ellc.20160104.13 Received: September 1, 2016; Accepted: November 3, 2016; Published: January 5, 2017 Abstract: Novel laureate in literature since 2012, the prominent Chinese novelist Mo Yan was born and raised in a village in the province of Shandong. His works are often themed on rural life. Contrary to the case in Turkey, researches on rural life in China have advanced on a continuous basis since the 20s of the 20th century in China. This can be explained with the fact that primarily Mo Yan and Jia Pingwa, as prominent novelists in China, never stopped writing on villages, villagers and inner world of peasants that endeavoured to lead the life in the city as they did back in the village. In this brief research study, we try to discuss in what way Mo Yan touched on the pastoral literature in his works. Keywords: Mo Yan, Pastoral Literature, Red Sorghum, China that were born and studied in the village. 1. Introduction Pastoral Literature in China has a very special place in In the long history of agricultural civilization, literature has Chinese literature. -
China As Dystopia: Cultural Imaginings Through Translation Published In: Translation Studies (Taylor and Francis) Doi: 10.1080/1
China as dystopia: Cultural imaginings through translation Published in: Translation Studies (Taylor and Francis) doi: 10.1080/14781700.2015.1009937 Tong King Lee* School of Chinese, The University of Hong Kong *Email: [email protected] This article explores how China is represented in English translations of contemporary Chinese literature. It seeks to uncover the discourses at work in framing this literature for reception by an Anglophone readership, and to suggest how these discourses dovetail with meta-narratives on China circulating in the West. In addition to asking “what gets translated”, the article is interested in how Chinese authors and their works are positioned, marketed, and commodified in the West through the discursive material that surrounds a translated book. Drawing on English translations of works by Yan Lianke, Ma Jian, Chan Koonchung, Yu Hua, Su Tong, and Mo Yan, the article argues that literary translation is part of a wider programme of Anglophone textual practices that renders China an overdetermined sign pointing to a repressive, dystopic Other. The knowledge structures governing these textual practices circumscribe the ways in which China is imagined and articulated, thereby producing a discursive China. Keywords: translated Chinese literature; censorship; paratext; cultural politics; Yan Lianke Translated Literature, Global Circulations 1 In 2007, Yan Lianke (b.1958), a novelist who had garnered much critical attention in his native China but was relatively unknown in the Anglophone world, made his English debut with the novel Serve the People!, a translation by Julia Lovell of his Wei renmin fuwu (2005). The front cover of the book, published by London’s Constable,1 pictures two Chinese cadets in a kissing posture, against a white background with radiating red stripes. -
An Analysis of the Magical Beauty in One Hundred Years of Solitude and Its Influence on Chinese Literature
Frontiers in Educational Research ISSN 2522-6398 Vol. 4, Issue 7: 56-61, DOI: 10.25236/FER.2021.040711 An Analysis of the Magical Beauty in One Hundred Years of Solitude and Its Influence on Chinese Literature Hui Han School of Foreign Language, Hubei University of Arts and Science, Xiangyang City, China Abstract: One Hundred Years of Solitude is the most representative work of magic realism in the literature created by Colombian writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and it is a dazzling pearl in magic realism literature. Marquez used magical techniques to describe the tortuous and legendary experiences of several generations of the Buendia family in the small town. Through the refraction of the magical realm, it indirectly reflects the history of Latin America and the cruel real life, and expresses people's desire for independence and stability. Compared with other Western literary schools, magic realism is one of the literary schools that have a profound influence on the development of modern and contemporary Chinese literature. This article mainly analyzes the magical beauty of One Hundred Years of Solitude and its influence on Chinese literature through magic realism. Keywords: magic realism, One Hundred Years of Solitude, root-seeking literature 1. Introduction Magic realism originated in Latin America. From the 1950s to the 1970s, Latin American literature had an amazing and explosive breakthrough. A series of masterpieces came out, and various literary schools came into being. Among the numerous literary schools, the most important is undoubtedly magic realism, which occupies a very important position in the contemporary world literary world. The publication of "One Hundred Years of Solitude" brought the literary creation of magic realism to the peak and caused an explosive sensation in the world literary world. -

En este artículo se propone una lectura paralela de Gabriel García Márquez y Mo Yan, el premio nobel chino, con el propósito de demostrar que el realismo mágico latinoamericano y su aventura en China ha formado parte de la historia de la literatura contemporánea del país asiático: a los escritores chinos no solo les avivó su memoria y les hizo adoptar otra actitud hacia su pasado; también les mostró el camino para escri- bir un nuevo tipo de novela (noveau roman).
