Abstract:
This essay takes an analytical approach to examine some Chinese science fiction narratives with the themes of climate change, terraforming, and environment degradation—written from the mid-20th century to the early years of the 21st century. My broad reading of the texts treats these narratives as archive—textual sources that document a historical development of the impact of human activities on nature. On one hand, these narratives are all closely related to the country’s modernization, its economic takeoff, and the rhetoric of building a powerful China. On the other hand, they form one set of what can be understood as an emerging body of Chinese fiction located firmly within the strata and sediment of the Anthropocene. This body of literature offers a venue for explaining and exploring how economics, technological developments, and government policies have transformed the ecology, environment, and climate in the Anthropocene. These narratives also echo the concept of slow violence dubbed by Rob Nixon in 2011. These terraforming and climate narratives reveal an attritional violence of environmental degradation, climate change, and the consequential social and political problems that permeate so many of our lives. My close reading of Chen Qiufan’s novel The Waste Tide ( Huangchao, 2013) specifically portrays a slow and attritional violence—namely, the ways in which the electronics recycling industry have caused severe environmental and occupational impacts on nature and humans—through exploration of the complex relationships among technology, the economy, and the environment.

Abstract The paper analyses some aspects of South African science fiction, starting with its beginnings in the 1920s and focusing on some 21st century writings. Thus Lauren Beukes’ novels Moxyland (2008) and Zoo City (2010) are taken into consideration in order to present new trends in South African literature and the way science fiction has been marked by Apartheid. The second South African science fiction writer whose writings are examined is Henrietta Rose-Innes (with her novel Nineveh, published in 2011) as this consolidates women's presence in the SF world.

Abstract:
During the first two decades of the 21st century an increasing amount of narratives termed as Arabic dystopian fiction appeared on the Arabic literary scene, with a greater part authored by Egyptian writers. However, what characterises/marks a work as a dystopia? This paper investigates the dystopian nature of a selection of Egyptian literary works within the frame of the dystopian narrative tradition. The article begins by introducing the features of the traditional literary dystopias as they will be used in the analysis. It then gives a brief overview of the development of the genre in the Arabic literature. The discussion that follows highlights common elements and identifies specific themes in six Egyptian novels selected for the analysis, thereby highlighting differences and similarities between them and the traditional Western dystopias. The article calls for a categorisation of Arabic dystopian narrative that takes into consideration social, political, historical and cultural factors specific for the Arabic in general, and Egyptian in particular, literary field. Keywords: Arabic literature, dystopia, dystopian literature, contemporary literature, Egypt, fiction, speculative fiction.

Abstract:
The postcolonial fiction of the 21st century has developed a new version of family chronicle depicting the life of several generations of migrants to demonstrate the complexity of their experience, different for each generation. This article aims at investigating this tradition from the perspective of three urgent problems: trauma, postcolonial experience, and the “female” theme. The author uses the most illustrative modern women’s postcolonial writings (Z. Smith, Ju. Chang) to show the types of trauma featured in postcolonial literature as well as the change in the character of traumatic experience, including the migrant’s automythologization from generation to generation. There are several types of trauma, or stages experienced by migrants: historical, migration and selfidentification, more or less correlated with three generations of migrants. Historical trauma is the most severe and most often insurmountable for the first generation. It generates a myth about the past, terrible or beautiful, depending on the writer’s intention realized at the level of the writer or the characters. A most expanded form of this trauma can be found in the novel Wild Swans by Jung Chang, where the “female” experience underlines the severity of the historical situation in the homeland of migrants. The trauma of migration manifests itself as a situation of deterritorialization, lack of place, when the experience of the past dominates and prevents the migrants from adapting to a new life. This situation is clearly illustrated in the novel White Teeth by Z. Smith, where the first generation of migrants cannot cope with the effects of trauma. The trauma of selfidentification promotes a fictitious identity in the younger generation of migrants. Unable to join real life communities, they create automyths, joining fictional communities based on cultural myths (Muslim organizations, rap culture, environmental organizations). Such examples can be found in Z. Smith’s White Teeth and On Beauty. Thus, the problem of trauma undergoes erosion, because, strictly speaking, with each new generation, the event experienced as traumatic is less worth designating as such. Compared to historical trauma or the trauma of migration, trauma of self-identification is rather a psychological problem that affects the emotional sphere and is quite survivable for most of the characters.

Abstract:
This paper presents an analysis of Isolde Amante’s Eve, a 21st century Philippine fiction to reveal a contemporary worldview of motherhood. Despite the success of feminist movements in society, motherhood remains fraught with romantic ideals that stem from the essentialist notions of gender and sex. This results in ‘othering’--oppressing and alienating women in the 21st century. The paper argued that the entire notion of motherhood has entered a postmodern framing—one that challenges traditional notions of motherhood and mothering. To characterize this worldview, the paper used the theories of cognitive stylistics, such as conceptual metaphor theory, to describe the mind style of the text’s focalizer, the narrator in Eve. This theory granted access to the intricate mental processes which helped explain why a character behaves a certain why, what dispositions s/he hold in life, as well as what motivations form his/her thoughts, language and action. Further, the mind style is drawn from the communicative force that make up the ‘maternal discourse’ in the text, using Searle’s Speech Act theory. The result is an unorthodox but liberating view of motherhood and mothering. The study argues the need to mainstream mind style analysis in 21st century fiction literary analysis to discover evolving and liberating ideals related to the constructions of gender, and in particular, motherhood.

Abstract:
In the 21st century China is intensively penetrating the region. Beijing promotes its geopolitical agenda in the region through various methods – military, political, and economic methods. In the region, in addition to large states such as Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia and the Philippines, there are also small states like Singapore, Brunei, and East Timor. They are also greatly influenced by China, but they cannot resist China to the same extent as their larger neighbors do. Therefore, these countries are trying to seek mutual benefit in cooperation with China. If Singapore successfully builds its mutual cooperation with Beijing, while East Timor has long been a puppet of PRC. This article aims to analyze Brunei-China relations and answer the question: "Is Brunei a partner for the Celestial Empire or a new conductor of China's interests in the region."

Abstract:
China’s fast economic growth since 1960s was the result of gradual shift in its economic system, open door policy and its accession to the world trade organization. The institutional reforms and access to foreign markets has been followed by investment strategies expanded 45% of Chinese GDP during last 40 years. The consistent vertical economic growth has no precedent in the economic history of the world. China has increased its share in world trade from 0.5% in 1960 to 10% in 2010 and accumulated foreign exchange reserves of US$3.19 trillion by March 2013. It is not less than a miracle. The objective of this study is to investigate into the Chinese labour productivity and output in the short and long-run perspective to detect the real source of Chinese economic growth. Our study is spread over a period starting from 1962 to 2010 because of political and economic stability with minor crisis. The data was taken from China Bureau of National Statistics, IMF, World Bank and relevant research Journals and books. The variables included in this study are: labour productivity, investment, exports, R&D expenses, capital stock, open door policy, real exchange rate and US GDP. The VAR model proposed by Johansen (1988), Johansen and Juselius (1990,1994) and Hendry and Mizon (1993) was used to measure the nature of relations among the above variables. Different tests including unit root test were applied to test the stability of the model. The Econometric results show that international trade and investment in capital stock and R&D expenses by Chinese Government are the major determinants, which are responsible for enhancing labour productivity and output in the long-run, Similarly, real exchange rate appears as an important determinant to explain change in output in the long-run. US GDP has played no role in explaining Chinese output growth. JEL Classification Code: F43; O47

Royters, Nathan Miller. "Ghosts Amid the Gears: Neoliberal Subjectivity in 21st Century Chinese and American Fiction." Thesis, The University of Sydney, 2022. https://hdl.handle.net/2123/28053.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis investigates patterns of contemporary Chinese and American fiction reflecting and refracting neoliberal subjectivity. This essay adopts David Foster Wallace’s disapproving motif of ‘gears’ as an organising metaphor for neoliberal reductions of subjectivity, forcing eruption of potentialities as literal and figurative ‘ghosts’ seeking escape from diegetic worlds. The Cartesian dichotomy (ghosts/gears), derived from British philosopher Gilbert Ryle’s notion of the “ghost in the machine,” is balanced in strangely consistent yet contrasting ways by all characters who synthesise entrepreneurialism with spirituality, communalism, ecology, and ethnicity. American Wallace’s The Pale King reveals a gentle, spiritual rebellion against neoliberal hegemony wherein characters protest the existential paucity of bureaucratic labour, instead seeking monastic, hedonistic transcendence. In Paul Beatty’s The Sellout impoverished African-Americans are estranged from racially-striated, capitalist ‘machinery,’ pioneering liminal neo-economic spaces and rejuvenating industry through a radical return to ‘magical’ ethno-subjectivity. The Chinese novels display both cosmopolitan and rural capitalism, sounding alarmist timbres in tracing work’s transnational, technological, ecological and eschatological dangers. In Chen Qiufan’s The Waste Tide, capitalist overdeterminations augment worker flesh and selfhood, disrupting feng shui and precipitating cataclysm. Likewise, Yan Lianke’s The Day the Sun Died shows mercantilism as antagonistic to spiritual-temporal ontologies. The comparative study reveals American admonitions of neoliberalism as parochial, compared with panoramic, macrocosmic concerns in Chinese fictive violence, cognisant of globalisation. Despite continental distance, all texts imagine spectral, subjective potentiality in pneumatic tension with neoliberal demands. These trans-Pacific, bi-national texts resist economic totalitarianism, imagining alternative ontologies.

Abstract:
This thesis examines conceptions of time and history in five American novels published between 1995 and 2012 which take as their subject matter events associated with the counterculture and New Left of the 1960s and 1970s. The thesis is organized around close readings of five novels. The first chapter focuses on Jennifer Egan’s The Invisible Circus (1995) and argues that it incorporates a number of problematic temporal experiences which have the effect of establishing a key tension of all the novels considered here: the concern with contextualizing and historicizing particular events and cultural atmospheres while remaining faithful to utopian ideas of radical change. Chapter two argues that Dana Spiotta’s Eat the Document (2006) is oriented both structurally and thematically towards a future in which the relationship between the 1960s and 1990s will more clearly understandable. The third chapter examines the way Christopher Sorrentino’s Trance (2005) explores the multiplicitous nature of historical narratives, and how he distinguishes between those narratives and a conception of the bare events beneath them. The focus of chapter four is Lauren Groff’s Arcadia (2012) and examines how conceptions of the relationship between humans and nature influence theories of time, mythic histories and post-apocalyptic narratives. The final chapter on David Foster Wallace’s The Pale King (2011) argues that the tension between continuation and change found in the conversion narrative is partly reconciled by a conception of time that allows the moment of radical utopian change (the moment of conversion) to be one of re-entrance into history. At stake throughout is the way these novels’ interpretation of particular events and larger cultural tendencies reveals and makes manifest various processes of historicization. I maintain a dual focus on the way these novels present historicization as something undertaken by individuals and societies and the ways in which these novels themselves not only engage in historicizations of the period but are in various ways self-conscious about doing so. If contemporary scholarship on the emergence of what has been called post-postmodern literature (Stephen J. Burn, Andrew Hoberek, Adam Kelly, Caren Irr) identifies a return to temporal concerns in recent fiction, the readings that comprise my thesis also make use of conceptions of time and history by Mark Currie, Jacques Derrida, Reinhold Niebuhr, Norman Mailer, Christopher Lasch, and Robert N. Bellah (among others) in order to ask: what are the particular material contours of the experiences of time and history manifested in these recent examples of the ‘sixties novel’?

Abstract:
A spectre is haunting contemporary technoculture: the spectre of Singularity. Ten years into a century thus far characterized chiefly by the catastrophic failure of global economic and political systems, deepening ecological anxieties, and slow-motion social crisis, the only sector of our collective cultural myth of Progress still vibrantly intact is the technological - a project which, in vivid contrast to the systemic failure that seemingly prevails at nearly every other level, continues to charge forward at breakneck speed. Since the late twentieth century, prompted by the all-but-exponential growth of machine intelligence and global information networks, and by the still largely obscure but increasingly profound-seeming implications of emerging nanotechnology, futurists and fabulists alike have postulated an imminent historical threshold whereupon the nature of human existence will be radically and irrevocably transformed in a sudden explosion of technological development. This moment of transcendence, it is supposed, is at most only a few years off; indeed, some say, it may have already begun. The "Singularity" - a term coined in 1986 by the mathematician and science fiction writer Vernor Vinge, and subsequently adopted throughout technocultural discourse - is at present the primary site of interpenetration between technoscientific and science-fictional figurations of the future, an area in which the longstanding binary distinctions between science and SF, and between present and future, are rapidly dissolving. As much as the Singularity thesis implies a total reorganization of society and of the self - which posthumanist cultural studies and cyborg theory have already begun mapping - it also poses a daunting existential challenge to the enterprise of SF itself, to the extent that the Singularity imposes what Vinge has described as "an opaque wall across the future," an impenetrable cognitive obstacle beyond which the extrapolative imagination cannot glimpse. For a genre long defined by its efforts to assert, through the narrative technique of extrapolation, a meaningful continuity between present and future, the Singularity presents a thorny problem indeed, demanding both a reevaluation of SF's conception of and orientation toward the future, and a new narrative model capable of grappling with the alien and often paradoxical complexity of the postsingular. This study is an inquiry into the properties and problematics of Singularity across fictional and nonfictional discourses, and as such it operates on two levels. Reading Singularitarian literature against a broadly articulated context of fringe-science and transhumanist movements, consumer culture, political and economic theory, and related areas of contemporary cyber- and technoculture, I examine how the metaphor of Singularity structures and signifies the aspirations and anxieties of late-twentieth and early twenty-first century technocivilization. As a project of literary criticism specifically, the study works to identify and theorize a grouping of texts that is emerging from cyberpunk and postcyberpunk tendencies in contemporary SF, organized around the premises of Singularity and the posthuman, and classifiable primarily in terms of an attempt to mount a response to the formal and conceptual problems Vinge has identified. Primary readings are drawn from a wide-ranging selection of twentieth- and twenty-first-century technocultural fiction, with emphasis on SF works by Charles Stross, Cory Doctorow, Neal Stephenson, Bruce Sterling, Rudy Rucker, and William Gibson.

Akhtar, Jaleel. "Dismemberment in the fiction of Toni Morrison." Thesis, University of Sussex, 2015. http://sro.sussex.ac.uk/id/eprint/53849/.

Full text
Abstract:
Dismemberment in the Fiction of Toni Morrison investigates the motif of dismemberment in Morrison's fiction from multiple perspectives—historical, psychological and cultural. My first chapter on A Mercy focusses on the aspect of historical dismemberment in the context of colonialism and slavery. I look at the forced separation of African Americans from their families and motherland in terms of originary experiences of racism and dismemberment. This entailed fragmentation for African Americans who struggled to develop strategies of survival in the New World. My second chapter on Jazz focuses on the impact of transgenerationally transmitted trauma. I argue that experiences of dismemberment – such as feelings of amputation and phantom limbs – arise not from physical amputation but from traumatic experiences and the unconscious of preceding generations as the result of trasgenerational hauntings. I borrow from the psychoanalytic insights of Nicolas Abraham and Maria Torok in my explanation of phantom limbs in Jazz. The third section of my project looks at how social order is brought about in the fictive community of Sula through the scapegoating mechanism. I define the scapegoating principle in Sula in terms of cultural dismemberment because of the ways the community members symbolically cut a pariah figure, like Sula, off by performing symbolic acts of violence. The characterization of Sula emphasizes the psychological need for a scapegoat figure who can give an outlet to the defensive tendencies of the community following discrimination. My final chapter focusses on Morrison's most recent novel Home, which is about homecoming. In this novel, Morrison continues with her project of imagining a space of domestic and social comfort which is physically and psychically safe in the broad sense of a homeland for African Americans. Home offers a place of salvation from social, historical and psychic fragmentation or the traumas of racism which result in experiences of disruption, amputation and dismemberment.

Abstract:
This collection of short stories studies the elements of genre fiction and applies them to literary fiction. Science fiction, fantasy, and horror have specific manners in which they speak to an audience. By using these elements, for example the desensitization of the current generation of readers to most horrors, an author can demonstrate the core of the human relationship to pain, faith, or hope. Though some genre fiction seems to fit certain formulas, there are also horror or science fiction stories which do not fit a conventional mold. This collection sets forth to break away from genre fiction conventions. Also, this project utilizes the genre of magical realism, which is the medium between genre fiction and literary fiction, by using fantastic events within a mundane setting to emphasize the author's ideas. By bridging the gap between genres, magical realism reveals how interrelated the elements of all genres are. In this study stories use magical and horrifying events while maintaining an intention beyond the formulaic thrill. Therefore, genre fiction can have a place amongst literature.

Halliday, Sophie. "Representations of gender and subjectivity in 21st century American science fiction television." Thesis, University of East Anglia, 2014. https://ueaeprints.uea.ac.uk/51483/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis interrogates representations of gender and subjectivity within 21st century American science fiction television. It recognises a recent convergence of generic concerns, the shifting contexts of television, and the cultural context of 21st century America. Identifying a recent shift in how American science fiction television of this era has engaged with issues of gender and subjectivity, I offer an exploration of this trend via four key texts: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (FOX, 2008-2009), Fringe (FOX, 2008-2013), Battlestar Galactica (SyFy, 2004-2009) and Caprica (SyFy, 2009-2010). The importance of this thesis lies in its exploration of new representational strategies in contemporary science fiction television in relation to the female body, and its consideration of the wider socio-cultural concerns of America in the 21st century. Previous attempts have been made to examine the socio-political import of certain series this thesis interrogates. I intervene in these debates by offering a much more focused interrogation of gender and subjectivity in 21st century science fiction television, via the framework of acclaimed and newly emerging series. Utilising a methodological approach that involves detailed textual analysis informed by social and cultural theory, I situate my case study series within the socio-cultural context of 21st century America. As such, this thesis covers a broad range of current representations that speak to how constructions of gender and subjectivity within a contemporary US cultural context are currently being worked through. Foregrounding an engagement with a particularly fraught period of American history via the female body, I argue that the protagonists my case study series present offer a positive intervention in previous estimations of how the female body has been utilised in film and television. As such, this thesis considers the implications of this particular context upon how these protagonists are represented by these newly emerging series.

Full text
Abstract:
Dystopian fiction as intended in the Western literary tradition is a 20 th century phenomenon on the Arabic literary scene. This relatively new genre has been experiencing an uplift since the beginning of the 21st century and many works that have been defined dystopias have been published and translated into English in the last 10 – 15 years. In order to find out their main features, Claeys’s categorization of literary dystopias is applied and a thematic analysis is carried out on four Arabic dystopian works of narrative, written by authors from different parts of the Arabic world. The analysis shows that 21st century Arabic dystopias are political dystopias, with totalitarianism as their main variation. Rather than on society, their focus is on the individual, and more specifically on personal freedom. The totalitarian constraints are mainly caused by religious fundamentalism and bureaucratic procedures. Surveillance and control over population are implemented by means of religious precepts and bureaucratic constructions, together with, in some instances, control over language and technological devices. Political totalitarianism regardless of a specific political ideology is identified as main theme. The thesis suggests that a Western-based classification framework is only partially suitable for Arabic dystopian fiction of the 21st century and that further research, including but not limited to a specific classification theory for Arabic dystopian fiction, is necessary to properly investigate this new literary trend in Arabic literature.

Abstract:
В статье рассматриваются особенности ассимиляции японских заимствований в китайском языке, определяются закономерности и специфика данного процесса. Представленный материал анализируется с точки зрения грамматических и семантических трансформаций японских лексических единиц в ходе адаптации к нормам китайского языка. В грамматическом плане, отмечается стремление к корнесложению, утрата японскими словами грамматических аффиксов и служебных слов, а также изменение порядка следования компонентов двусложных слов глагольно-объектного типа. С точки зрения семантики, имеет место изменение семантического объема заимствованных слов и замена лексем, обусловленная несовпадением значений или различиями в оттенке слова в японском и китайском языках.

Abstract:
Причинно-следственные связи являются важным аспектом в понимании философии китайского буддизма. В статье обсуждается идея о взаимодействии всех явлений и предметов природы бытия. Философия китайского буддизма указывает на гармоничность существования мира со всеми объектами, акцентируя на единство всего сущего с природой бытия. В работе рассматриваются классификации мировоззренческих аспектов причинно-следственных связей, которые способствуют преодолению ложной картины мира так называемого «омраченного со-знания», опровержению иллюзии субъектно-объектных отношений, достижению истинной природы бытия и гармонии всех причинно-следственных отношений. Возникновение школы хуаянь привело к формированию форм и методов в теории китайского буддизма. Разработки данной теории принадлежат китайскому философу Фа Цзану, который полагал, что возникновение всех вещей и явлений в при-роде бытия обусловлено причинно-следственными связями.

Abstract:
В данной статье описана история становления и развития чайной торговли в Древнем и Средневековом Китае. Автор последовательно рассматривает чай как сельскохозяйственную культуру, как элемент товарно-денежных отношений, важный источник пополнения государственного бюджета и часть финансовой системы страны, а также как инструмент внешнеполитического давления на сопредельные кочевые народы. На протяжении всей истории Китая чай играл важную роль в культурной и хозяйственной жизни страны. Так, в Древнем Китае чай использовался в основном как подношение императору и способ поощрения императором высшей знати, а во времена династии Тан, после постройки Великого ка-нала, от чайной торговли уже напрямую зависело экономическое благосостояние империи и ее внешнеполитическая стабильность, так как чай был меновым товаром для пополнения армии лошадьми, а зависимость кочевников от потребления чая превратилась в инструмент контроля над кочевниками императорским правительством.

Abstract:
Статья посвящена анализу развития тибетского буддизма на территории Северо-Западного Китая в XIV в. Материалом для исследования послужил трактат выдающегося монгольского ученого Чахар-геше [тиб. cha har dge bshes blo bzang tshul khrims, 1740–1810] «Источник всего благого и счастья: жизнеописание великого всеведущего Чже Цонкапы, изложенное легким для понимания образом» [тиб. rje thams cad mkhyen pa’i tsong kha pa chen po’i rnam thar go sla bar brjod pa bde legs kun gyi ‘byung gnas]. Данная работа является примером буддийской исторической мысли XVIII–XIX вв. и обладает ярко выраженной спецификой изложения, определяемой как личностью автора, так и историко-культурными обстоятельствами. Исследуемый фрагмент данного сочинения, связанный с историей взаимоотношений реформатора тибетского буддизма с его учителем Дондуб Ринченом, является фундаментальным историческим свидетельством о важней-ших религиозных и культурных процессах, имевших место на обширных территориях Северо-Западного Китая в период XIV в. Для сравнительно-исторического анализа привлечены методы конкретного изучения биографических данных в контексте исторических событий. Специфика развития Северо-Западного Китая в исследуемом произведении рассматривается в качестве сложного этно-социального и религиозного процесса, имевшего место в XVI в. Авторы пришли к выводу, что формирование новых социальных объединений тибетцев и монгол в имперских условиях династии Юань, во-многом, определялось буддийским фактором в качестве фундамента происходящих изменений. В биографии Чже Цонкапы данная социально-историческая обстановка излагается на основе взаимоотношений учителя и ученика. Масштаб достижений ученого и ре-форматора тибето-монгольского буддизма Чже Цонкапы отражен в некоторых фрагментах первоначального периода его жизненного пути.

Abstract:
В статье описываются особенности раскрытия ритуализированности китайской культуры в языке. Анализируются способы вербальной репрезентации речевого акта поздравления, поводом которого выступают различные праздники и события, в постах в Wechat, отобранных нами самостоятельно, а также извлеченных из Leiden Weibo Corpus. Установлено, что 100-летний юбилей Коммунистической партии Китайской Народной Республики стал ключевым событием июля 2021 года для носителей китайской лингвокультуры. Анализ данных, извлечённых из Leiden Weibo Corpus, показывает, что национальная специфика китайской куль-туры отражается в способах языковой объективации речевого акта поздравления, поводом которого служит Новый год по лунному календарю 春节, в некоторых из которых упоминается год дракона по восточному гороскопу 龙年.

Современное медиа пространство является полем существования и взаимодействия разнородных дискурсов. Однако вопрос о возможности сосуществования полярных дискурсов в рамках медиа китайской лингвокультуры остается открытым. Настоящее исследование посвящено анализу дискурсов официальных и не-официальных медиаканалов на предмет их консенсусной или диссонансной направленности.
