Cultural Space and Literary Expression in Kunming During the Anti-japanese War
by Wang Jia
About This Novel
This book focuses on Kunming during the All-out Anti-Japanese War. It breaks away from the research idea of treating Kunming as just the "background" of the Southwest Associated University. By excavating and sorting out original documents, it carefully examines the literati mentality and cultural atmosphere conveyed in literary works, and demonstrates the special charm of Kunming as a "cultural metropolis" during the war. The Anti-Japanese War promoted Kunming's modernization transformation. Cultural people coming to Kunming from the mainland changed Kunming's cultural ecology and stimulated the cultural cognition of local people. This formed a unique cultural space jointly constructed by outsiders, locals and the city of Kunming. This book's investigation of Kunming's cultural space during the Anti-Japanese War enriches the cognitive perspective of Anti-Japanese War literature, and then ponders the complex process of Chinese literature and even culture moving towards "modernity".
