Introduction: inside Xinjiang
No full text[Extract] The Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) is China's largest province, shares borders with Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Russia and Mongolia, and possesses a variety of natural resources, including oil. Such factors are often commonly cited in contemporary commentary on the region to explain its importance to Beijing. As such, Xinjiang (literally 'New Frontier') is often deemed to be primarily of strategic or geopolitical importance to the People's Republic of China (PRC) with political, economic and social developments within the region given meaning through how they impact, positively or negatively, on China's strategic health along its Central Asian frontiers

Language, Hybridity and Dialogism in <i>The God of Small Things</i>
No full textIn an essay specially commissioned for this guide, Anna Clarke addresses the complexities of Roy’s language use and explores two key approaches to TGST, based on the concept terms ‘hybridity’ and ‘dialogism’. Hybridity, an idea which is most frequently associated with the theorist Homi Bhabha, has a formative place in postcolonial theory because it has been used to explain (and explore) the cultural intermixtures that result from the historical experience of colonial-ism. As Clarke points out, hybridity can also be seen as a subversive force because it undermines hierarchical power structures and blurs the boundaries of language and culture. Clarke carefully traces the contemporary postcolonial interest in hybridity back to the 1920s and 1930s in the work of the Russian critic Mikhail Bakhtin, whose study The Dialogic Imagination proposes a model of the modern novel form that is ‘dialogic’ (characterized by a constant play of different voices), as well as inherently hybrid in its incorporation of other earlier narrative genres.1
Drawing on these ideas and demonstrating how they can be applied in a close reading of TGST, Clarke comments on the variety of linguistic and narrative effects in Roy’s fiction and shows how the authority to classify and define social, cultural and scientific boundaries intersects with similar rules about language, rules that Roy’s child-protagonists consistently undermine. Thus, for Clarke, the linguistic playfulness and the lack of narrative certainty in Roy’s novel can be read as a radical literary strategy that evades and challenges society’s ‘mono-logic’ tendency to control narrative meaning, and structure our perception through forms of linguistic order.

Richardson, Barbauld, and the construction of an early modern fan club
No full textMPhilMuch has been written about the life and long works of the eighteenth century epistolary novelist, Samuel Richardson, but the prospect of his position as the first celebrity novelist – responsible for courting his own fame as well as initiating his own fan club – has largely been ignored. The body of manuscripts housed at the National Art Library in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London provides the modern scholar with evidence of the skeletal beginnings of an early fan club. This thesis aims to show how these manuscripts were turned into a saleable commodity by the publisher and entrepreneur Richard Phillips, while under the guiding hand of another, slightly later, literary celebrity, Anna Laetitia Barbauld. In order to restore Richardson’s reputation amongst a new nineteenth century audience, Barbauld was required to construct her own idea of him as an eighteenth century celebrity author, and in doing so the insecurities of a self-professed, apparently diffident man, are revealed. Barbauld’s capacious, but heavily edited selection of letters is analyzed in this thesis, providing ample evidence that Richardson’s correspondents were more than just eager letter writers. By using Barbauld’s biography of Richardson this thesis aims to show how she manipulates the genre of life writing in her construction of him.
This thesis offers an alternative reading of how the Richardson manuscripts are viewed, redefining them as not simply a collection of letters, but as a collective entity, deliberately selected and archived as evidence of an early modern fan club, and its celebrity managing director
