In-Between China: A Dialectical Narrative of Chan Koonchung\ue2s \ue2China Tetralogy\ue2
No full textThis thesis provides a rigorous textual analysis of Chan Koonchung\ue2s \ue2China Tetralogy,\ue2 exploring how Chen\ue2s fictional oeuvre constructs a geographic imaginary that moves from the political, cultural, and economic center of the Sinophone world to its margins and back again. Through such fictional practice, Chan attempts to re-imagine the meaning of borders, a process which influences both literary form and the historical critique produced by his fiction. Writing during a time marked by the so-called \ue2rise of China,\ue2 Chen draws on his own personal experience as a sojourning writer between Hong Kong, Taipei, and Beijing to explore the perilous and crisis-ridden nature of the \ue2center\ue2 of the Sinophone world, while also offering a sense of marginality rooted in literary and political border zones. In doing so, he develops a narrative technique from the literary and political edges of the Sinophone world, showing how such margins can be written into the heart of history.
In terms of conceptual methodology, this thesis mobilizes the notion of \ue2Hong Kong as method,\ue2 paying close attention to such key concepts as hybridity and marginality, doing so to understand the \ue2Hong Kong perspective\ue2 that underlays Chan\ue2s narrative. The thesis also utilizes theoretical concepts developed in Edward Said\ue2s work The World, the Text, and the Critic to understand the relationship between his essays and his fiction, which operate in different but related modes. Texts covered by this thesis include Chen\ue2s novels The Fat Years, The Unbearable Dreamworld of Champa the Driver, The Second Year of Jianfeng: An Alternative History of New China, Zero Point Beijing, as well as the short story Intellectuals with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. This thesis has three thematics:
The first is \ue2geography,\ue2 which has been a topic of prominence in recent academic work, particularly surrounding the concept of \ue2literary geography.\ue2 Regarding this theme, the thesis produces a close-reading of The Second Year of Jianfeng, which imagines an alternative history of China, presenting a radically different geography for modern China. In doing so, the text places such marginal spaces as Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Tibet into the core of its historical narrative. It imagines Hong Kong and China, understood as margin and center respectively, to exist in paradoxical relation with one another. Chan\ue2s work also produces a linguistic and institutional meta-geography of the center, particularly Beijing, doing so to explore the history of violence that is repressed in institutional historiography. In doing so, he highlights both the way in which margins and centers are mutually imagined, as well as the tension that exists between them, including the forms of resistance which can emanate from borders who endure repression and injustice.
The second theme is history, in particular the question of how to re-imagine Chinese history through fiction. In particular, this thesis explores how Hong Kong as marginal space inherits and nurtures a form of historical memory borne out of trauma that has been repressed by Mainland China itself, utilizing the memorial of the 1989 Tiananmen massacre in order to mobilize this deeper, more critical sense of historical memory regarding modern Chinese history as whole. In doing, Chen explores the dialectics of memory that exist between the center and the margins. This section also engages with how The Second Year of Jianfeng re-imagines literary history, infusing an imagined Mainland China with key elements from the actual history of Sinophone literature during the Cold War period. In working from this marginal perspective, one grounded in the experience of Hong Kong and other Sinophone margins, Chen explores how fiction can re-awaken historical memory in China. As part of this project, he also re-writes the history of other border areas such as Xinjiang and Tibet, re-writing China\ue2s Cold War history, and in doing so imagines the possibilities of a radically different future.
The third theme is the question that the role of \ue2thought\ue2 or \ue2critique\ue2 plays in Chan\ue2s novels, that is the question of sixiang. This section examines the intersection between Chan\ue2s novels and his essays, and in particularly how they engage in dialogue with doctrines such as Socialism with Chinese Characteristics, the New Left in China, and Chinese Schmittians and Straussians, among others. This chapter also explores how the fictional characters in Chan\ue2s novels are presented as \ue2Chinese idealists,\ue2 mediums to elaborate the author\ue2s own critique of contemporary China, particularly the question of authoritarianism in the Mainland China today.
Chan\ue2s oeuvre as a whole shows how the fictional devices of literature can help us break through conventional, even ossified political boundaries and narratives, re-imagining China\ue2s story away from official narrative, to tell it from the margins. We also see through his writing how the \ue2center\ue2 and \ue2margins\ue2 have never constituted an ossified binary, but rather possess a relation defined by a mutually constitutive dialectic, mutual reliance, as well as complex forms of dialogue. Chen uses such a writing of center and margins to imagine the solidarities and disjunctures of a(n) (un)shared future

[[alternative]]Modal Makers in the Collected Sayings of Chan Masters: Final Particles lai and qu
No full text[[abstract]]The use of the deictic words 來 (lai, come) and 去(qu, go) in early vernacular collections of the sayings of the Chan masters is noteworthy in that when they are used as final particles they lose the verbal sense they originally had. Most scholars explain their syntactical function through an appeal to temporality, arguing that lai is a experiential marker while qu conveys either the sense of "to be done" or "having done." There is still much debate as to how to properly explain qu. This paper attempts to address this debate by using the framework of modality to identify all instances in which qu appears in an irrealis modality. In doing so, we can see that the word qu clearly brings with it modal characteristics. After determining that qu is an irrealis marker, this paper conjectures that since lai is complementary to qu, in a system of modal syntax, lai should play the role of the realis marker. Even though these two modal verbs are no longer used in standard Mandarin, this does not mean that the final particle le T has replaced their original function. This is because le functions to indicate tense, that is, to indicate the current relevance for the event described and the time of speech in sentences where there are no particles indicating time. This function is clearly different from the use of lai and qu as realis and irrealis markers. At the same time, this paper's classification of lai and qu in the collections of the Chan masters under the modal system of functional categories is supported by the fact that this usage is retained by the speakers in Qingjian County in the Shaanbei region.
