By engaging in close readings of narratologically complex works of metafiction, the author offers a reappraisal of the role Ma Yuan played within the rise of postmodern fiction within China and offers new interpretive possibilities for the Chinese Avant-Garde movement of the 1980s through demonstrating that rather than being predominantly 'formalist word games' or 'narrative traps', Ma Yuan's works of metafiction functioned as Foucauldian 'heterotopias' which allowed for the creation of distinctly Post-modern and Post-socialist 'possible worlds'. This book also analyses Ma Yuan's recent post-2000 output and in doing so explores the shifting dynamics of literary self-reflexivity and the 'Post-postmodern' within the contemporary context of 'Xi Jinping era modernity'. This book argues that Ma Yuan's recent works display a distinct movement towards 'metamodern' aesthetics alongside a rising anthropocenic awareness and eco-consciousness which offer key insights into the post-postmodern condition within a Chinese context"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Early works -- High (altitude) metafiction : self-reflexivity and polyvocality in Tibet -- Later works -- Monsters and demons -- Entaglement & The Huang Tang family -- Guniangzhai -- Conclusions. 600 10 $a Ma, Yuan, $d 1953- $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Ma, Yuan, $d 1953- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00389560 650 0 $a Post-postmodernism (Literature) $z China. 650 7 $a Post-postmodernism (Literature) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01762454 651 7 $a China. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206073 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Online version: $a Gatherer, Will, 1982- $t Ma Yuan $d Lanham : Lexington Books, [2021] $z 9781793609021 $w (DLC) 2021045327 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117030621.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5C2B8DD4DCB911EC8436229451ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
