Research on Contemporary Chinese Literary Newspapers and Periodicals (1949-1976)

About This Novel

This book selects seventeen newspaper cases to systematically examine the deep connection between literary newspapers and literary production in New China, and uses it to discuss how contemporary literature occurs and develops in the process of "mutual penetration, friction, adjustment, transformation, and conflict of multiple cultural components and forces." The careful review of this book shows that various heterogeneous "literary elements" such as "old liberated area literature and art" from different sources, liberalism, the left wing of Kuomintang-controlled areas, mandarin and butterfly traditions, folk popular literature and art, and personnel disputes that academic circles often hope to "filter out" all participate in this competition, and consciously use newspaper and periodical resources to compete for authentic status in the literary world, control the space for survival and development, and reconfigure literary interests through the construction of "correct" literary "knowledge." It can be said that the extensive and solid first-hand historical materials, the detailed examination "in front of the stage" and "behind the scenes", and the close connection with macro-level literary history issues, especially the use of the game theory perspective, make this book clearly demonstrate the efforts to get rid of the binary opposition thinking of official/folk, mainstream/heterodox, and represent a more exploratory path and orientation in the current literary research from the 1950s to the 1970s.
