Popis: | Chapter 4 explores the field of translation production as an aspect of social mobilization in urban China in the mid-1910s and mid-1920s, as Western ideas were being widely disseminated via a modern education system and in public culture. It examines how leading literary societies and their journals contributed to the rise of a modern intellectual discourse in China. The focus is on New Youth (Xin qingnian) – the vehicle for the literary revolution and the modern written vernacular – and Short Story Monthly (Xiaoshuo yuebao) - a flagship magazine of the Association for Literary Studies (Wenxue yanjiu hui), and on how the intellectuals associated with these magazines forged an avant-garde identity that became a highly desired image among their followers. |
