It attempts to refresh our understanding of the history of modern Chinese literature and indirectly responds to the controversial issue of "individual rights" (or "human rights") in present-day China, showing that in modern Chinese literature, various configurations of the individual imply political possibilities that are not only irreconcilable with each other, but irreducible to the determination of the modern discourse of "individualism" introduced by the West. A groundbreaking work, it will give valuable context to political scientists and other scholars seeking to understand what "China" means in the 21st century. Qin Wang received his Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from New York University, USA. He is the translator of the Chinese editions of Jacques Derrida's Donner la mort and La bête et le souverain, Volume 1, Richard Bernstein's Radical Evil, Jacques Lezra's Wild Materialism, and David Harvey's A Brief History of Neoliberalism. 000922661 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed September 18, 2019). 000922661 650_0 $$aChinese literature$$y20th century$$xHistory and criticism. 000922661 650_0 $$aIndividualism in literature. 000922661 852__ $$bebk 000922661 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-32-9640-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000922661 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:922661$$pGLOBAL_SET 000922661 980__ $$aEBOOK 000922661 980__ $$aBIB 000922661 982__ $$aEbook 000922661 983__ $$aOnline 000922661 994__ $$a92$$bISE
