Ideology and Poetics in Wang Wen-hsing's Chia-p'ien and James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
No full text[[abstract]] This paper compares Wang Wen-hsing’s A Family Catastrophe (Chia-p’ien) and James Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man in the folloiwing directions : it questions how techniques of the modernist novel are used to portray ideological conflicts in different cultural settings and examines the different poetics at work in these two novels. It demonstrates how the modernist novel in Taiwan is quite distinct from the modernist novel in Europe: namely, this distinction arises from the very different kinds of cultural struggle that characterize Taiwanese life.
In this paper I employ various critical stances of Althusser, Adorno, and Pierre Macherey.
I will also take into account the notion of Joycean “semi-colonialism” in recent Joyce studies. My argument is that the hero in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man foregrounds Joyce’s modernist project by embodying himself as the self-fashioned artist. Stephen Daedalus resolves his ideological struggles by overcoming them through an ideology of the artist in the mode of an artistic cosmopolitanism. Wang Wen-hsing’s anti-hero or mock-hero in A Family Catastrophe—presented in fragments as an artistically sensitive “historian”—responds to a different cultural dilemma. The problem of inadequacy is complicated in the novel through employing strategic distortions both in language and ideology. It captures the unresolved problems of a generation in Taiwan which sought transformation in the realms of art as well as life, but didn’t know how or if to turn toward the East or the West. As a shocking artwork, A Family Catastrophe inaugurates a post-modern poetics in Taiwanese fiction
Wang Shuo and the commercialisation of contemporary Chinese culture
Full text linkThis thesis examines the commercialisation of Chinese culture that has taken place over the past twenty years in mainland China. It explores the contribution of Wang Shuo, a cultural figure who straddles different fields of culture, moving from literature to the ultimate mass culture medium of television, this study plots Wang Shuo' s development from educational failure, to business failure, to fiction writer, film & TV editor, film director and cultural critic and analyst. His stories, films, TV series and articles have caused shock-waves throughout national cultural circles as he has transformed the terms of the debate from academic discourse to a validation of the role of the market in the culture field. Although Wang Shuo has not been labelled as a dissident, his approach to the culture market has had a more subversive effect on official ideology that those overt dissidents who have had to live in exile or have been imprisoned. He has utilised the language of official ideology to satirise the authorities, turning the ideology and its supporters into figures of fun. Yet his own goals have been strictly personal and economic ones. The authorities recognize the value of Wang Shuo's work in the cultural market but at the same time distrust his works and place him under strict censorship. Examining the way Wang Shuo and people surround him have succeeded in different fields of cultural achievement is a mirror to understanding the process of the transformation of contemporary Chinese culture from a socialist state-controlled culture to a market-oriented mass culture industry
