      abstract = {Jing Wang offers the first overview of the feverish decade  of the 1980s in China, from early reexaminations of Maoism  through the crackdown in Tiananmen Square. Wang's  energetic, creative, and highly intelligent take on Chinese  culture provides a broad portrait of the post-revolutionary  era and a provocative inquiry into the nature of Chinese  modernity. In seven linked essays, the author examines the  cultural dynamics that have given rise to the epochal  discourse. She traces the Chinese Marxists' short debate  over "socialist alienation" and examines the various  schools of thought--Li Zehou and the Marxist Reconstruction  of Confucianism, the neo-Confucian Revivalists, and the  Enlightenment School--that came into play in the Culture  Fever. She also critiques the controversial mini-series  Yellow River Elegy. In mapping out China's  post-revolutionary aesthetics, Wang introduces the debate  over "pseudo-modernism," refutes the pseudo-proposition of  "Chinese postmodernism," and looks at the dawning of  popular culture in the 1990s. This book delivers a ten-year  intertwined history of Chinese intellectuals, writers,  literary critics, and cultural critics that gives us a  deeper understanding of the China of the 1980s, the 1990s,  and beyond.},
