Wolf Warrior II: China’s Rising or Rejuvenation?
Get PDFIn 2017, a Chinese military-themed action film called Wolf Warrior II has collected a total box office of US$874 million in mainland China. The film received common praises for its virtual effects, action sequences and patriotic theme. However, its patriotism is built on an image of a powerful China with racists assumptions and logical details. This thesis examines Wolf Warrior II, explores the reason behind its unexpected success, and analyzes its interpretations of Chinese mentality and China’s international status in the world today
The Transcendental Circuit: Otherworlds of Poetry
No full textFrom the “golden age of poetry blogging” to the debased age of Trump, this collection of essays and meditations by the poet, critic and novelist Joshua Corey explores contemporary poetry from its margins: the pastoral, the fictional, and the mystical. A noted critic and theorist of the importance and persistence of the pastoral in current writing, Corey argues for the centrality of poets like Lisa Robertson, Francis Ponge and Robert Duncan to an emerging post-pastoral tradition that confronts the eroded boundaries between nature and culture in the time of the Anthropocene. The hinge and heart of the book is a selection from the author’s correspondence with the late Reginald Shepherd, in which the two poets challenge each other to think more rigorously and generously about the emerging field of twenty-first-century American poetry. Other essays consider the poet’s role in a time when the public and private have seemingly exchanged places; the title essay constitutes a defense of poetry but also a critique of the dangerous desire to transcend particulars of historical and embodied existence.https://publications.lakeforest.edu/faculty_books/1009/thumbnail.jp
