Geographical Characteristics and Reception Process of Overseas Dissemination of Contemporary Chinese Literature: A Case Study of Xuemo’s Works

Summary/Abstract: This study examines Xuemo’s works as a case to explore the geographical traits and overseas reception of contemporary Chinese literature. It identifies a pattern of“geographical adaptability”: four dissemination models—academically oriented, market-community collaborative, cultural affinity-driven, and project-linked—corresponding to Europe, North America, East/Southeast Asia, and South/Central Asia. Reception effectiveness depends on cultural-psychological distance, agent strategies, cross-cultural textual quality, and institutional environments. The study advocates shifting from extensive coverage to targeted adaptation, building multi-agent networks, and improving cross-cultural accessibility. Xuemo’s case offers insights for Chinese literature’s “going global”, highlighting pathways from “dissemination reach” to “cultural integration.”
