During the first decade of the twenty-first century, the genre underwent a sudden revival and flourished; it continued to prosper in the following decade and gained recognition from readers and media both domestically and globally. In Fear of Seeing, Mingwei Song argues that through illuminating that which has been invisible, this new wave of Chinese science fiction opens up new possibilities and inspires new ways of telling stories about China and the world. Deeply entangled with the politics of a changing China, this new wave of science fiction complicates the visions of the nation's future: it unsettles historical determinism with dystopian variations; envelops political consciousness in scientific discourses on uncertainty; and sharpens social criticism with an acute awareness of both the potential and menace of technological revolutions. Song analyzes representative works of the major authors of the new wave, exploring how SF's representation of the invisible has motivated larger changes in the contemporary literary paradigm"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Science fiction, Chinese $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Chinese fiction $y 21st century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Invisibility in literature. 650 7 $a Invisibility in literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02061275 650 7 $a Chinese fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00857362 650 7 $a Science fiction, Chinese. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01108660 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01986215 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Song, Mingwei. $t Fear of seeing $d New York : Columbia University Press, [2023] $z 9780231555531 $w (DLC) 2023005192 830 0 $a Global Chinese culture 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231219011547.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=690666329E3C11EE84E191EF36ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
