To Monica and All —

This sounds great. Just to let you know, LLC Modern and Contemporary Chinese Forum will propose as our guaranteed session something like “Breaking Media Boundaries in Chinese Literature and Culture.” It looks like it will fit well with what your team is planning.

Charlotte Eubanks started the topic Proposed Collaborative Session for MLA 2017 in the discussion East Asian Languages and Literatures to 1900 on MLA Commons 10 years ago

The Japan to 1900 group would like to propose a collaborative panel with the East Asia group, on the topic of

‘Sounding the Pre-Modern Sinosphere’

which would focus on Chinese-language compositions from across Asia (such as kanshi in Japan).

I’ll be interested in your thoughts, and will hope for a ‘go ahead’ from the leadership! 🙂

Charlotte Eubanks replied to the topic LLC EAST ASIAN Panel Topic in the discussion East Asian Languages and Literatures to 1900 on MLA Commons 10 years ago

Sounds good, Monika! I’ll be interested to see what others post, but if you need someone to talk, I could do something on ‘sutras as a genre of world literature’ in the trans-Asian sphere.

Cheers,

Charlotte (Eubanks)

In lieu of an abstract, here is the beginning of the article: In a recent discussion of modernism, Peter Osborne argues that the terms “modern,” “modernity,” and “modernization” need to be understood through their shared philosophical status as temporal constructions. The emergence of the modern within Western philosophy is predicated on a subjec…[Read more]

In lieu of an abstract, here is the beginning of the article:

After the fall of the Berlin Wall and the subsequent collapse of communism in the former Soviet bloc, the concept of utopia was blighted with the stigma of Stalinist totalitarianism. Khrushchev’s denunciation of Stalin’s despotism at the 20th Congress of the Communist Party in 195…[Read more]
Shazia Sadaf deposited Daniyal Mueenuddin’s Dying Men in the group LLC South Asian and South Asian Diasporic on MLA Commons 10 years ago

Daniyal Mueenuddin’s In Other Rooms, Other Wonders is reflection of Pakistani masculinity in a metamorphosed state. A disturbingly masculine vocabulary frames the appearance and actions of the female characters. In contrast, the speech and thought of the male characters is minified in words of loss and regret. Their material ambitions and the r…[Read more]
