Chinese Literary Avant-Garde: A Tale of Magic
Chinese Literary Avant-Garde: A Tale of Magic

Summary/Abstract: Chinese Avant-garde stands as a literary avalanche at the economic dawning of the Reform Era. The shaping of postmodern texts depoliticized, and fragmented, is somewhere along the line the ontological transaction to a post-ideology literature where the permanent struggle is not anymore between classes, but within the frame of personal identities. The narrative moves from socialist realism to experimental writing, from realism to abstract expressionism, forging a literary paradigm alternative to the dominant one. In this sense, Chinese Avantgarde stands as the narrative re-enchantment of Chinese fiction.
