    Wang Shuo and the commercialisation of contemporary Chinese culture

    No full text
    This 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

    Wang Meng and contemporary Chinese literature: the vicissitudes of a committed writer

    No full text
    This thesis examines the way Wang Meng has developed as a writer from the 1950s to the 1990s in the context of New China's political and literary background. It looks at the compromises he was forced to make between his political beliefs in the Communist Party and his chosen role as a professional writer. After his disastrous early foray into what was deemed to be unacceptable political criticism with The Young Newcomer in the Organisation Department in the 1950s, when the opportunity came to start publishing again in the late 1970s he was boldly innovative in style, helping to transform New Period literature, but conservative in content, sticking to politically acceptable topics. It was only with Hard Porridge in 1989 that he ventured again, and very successfully, into political comment. There is no outstanding leading writer in contemporary China, but Wang Meng is a leading contender for the title

    Mirokempynus Ma & Shih & Ren & Wang 2020, gen. nov.

    Genus Mirokempynus gen. nov. (Fig. 1) Zoobank LSID: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: D4912F2E-63D3-4740-8931-7FAA181A21E5 Type species. Mirokempynus profundobifurcus sp. nov. by monotypy. Diagnosis. Hind wing: RP with a large number of branches, tightly arranged; radial crossveins dense among the proximal one-third RP branches, and sparse distally; outer gradate series well-developed; MP forked two times in the basal and distal one-third part, and intramedial area with one–three rows of regular cells; CuA long, about twice as long as CuP, with strongly pectinated branches; CuP branches pectinated at the middle. Etymology. From the Latin prefix mir-, peculiar and kempynus, the type genus of Kempyninae, referring to the unique branches of MP in the hind wing. Gender is masculine. Remarks. Although the holotype of Mirokempynus profundobifurcus sp. nov. does not preserve forewings, this taxon can be unequivocally assigned to Kempyninae showing the apomorphies of this subfamily, i.e. presence of multiple rows of cells in intramedial area in the hind wing (Winterton et al. 2019; Ma et al. 2020). The new genus is characteristic due to its particular MP branchings and intramedial cells of hind wing. In the new genus, MP is forked near the base of the wing, instead of only forming distal branches, and MP2 bifurcated at the middle, so multiple rows of cells are present due to several longitudinal veins arranged in intramedial area. Among most fossil kempynines, e.g. Arbusella Khramov, 2014 and Jurakempynus Wang, Liu, Ren & Shih, 2011, MP of hind wing is commonly branched distally, and the intramedial cells were irregularly arranged and formed by the intramedial crossveins. A similar MP branching pattern in the hind wing is also present in Ponomarenkius Khramov, Liu & Zhang, 2017. However, it is distinctly different from Mirokempynus gen. nov. due to the proximally branched MA, relatively broad hind wing, and presence of stripe-like markings. In addition, CuA of Mirokempynus has more than 20 branches that occupy approximately the half of its length, which is distinctly different from the other genera (Wang et al. 2011; Khramov 2014b; Khramov et al. 2017).Published as part of Ma, Yiming, Shih, Chungkun, Ren, Dong & Wang, Yongjie, 2020, New lance lacewings (Osmylidae: Kempyninae) from the Middle Jurassic of Inner Mongolia, China, pp. 94-100 in Zootaxa 4822 (1) on page 95, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4822.1.4, http://zenodo.org/record/444973
