About This Novel

This book contains 18 chapters, with an "Introduction" at the beginning and a "Conclusion" at the end, and is divided into three parts in the middle. The "Introduction" section outlines the causes, paths, characteristics and limitations of the politicization of contemporary Western literary theory. The first part, "The Political Turn of Literary Theory," describes the theoretical form of contemporary Western literary theory after the political turn from the aspects of "cultural power," "subject position," "psychological analysis," "literary narrative," and "literary reading." The second part, "Post-Marxist politicized literary theory," presents the general style of post-Marxist politicized literary theory from the aspects of "cultural logic," "aesthetic ideology," "literary politics," and "literary criticism methods." The third part, "Criticism of Contemporary Western Political Literary Theory," points out that contemporary Western politicized literary theory has serious flaws in "literary concepts," "literary interpretation," and "literary value," and advocates the reconstruction of concepts or categories such as "literariness," "literary emotion," "aesthetic reading," and "poetic justice." The "Conclusion" section uses contemporary Western politicized literary theory as a reference to put forward its own academic opinions on constructing and improving the academic discourse system of "Socialist Literary Politics with Chinese Characteristics". This book has a novel topic selection, unique insights, and a high level of academic innovation. It has important inspiring significance for the discipline construction of literary politics and the academic expansion of contemporary Western literary theory research.
