Book Synopsis Slanting I, Imagining We by : Larissa Lai
Download or read book Slanting I, Imagining We written by Larissa Lai and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2014-07-31 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1980s and 1990s are a historically crucial period in the development of Asian Canadian literature. Slanting I, Imagining We: Asian Canadian Literary Production in the 1980s and 1990s contextualizes and reanimates the urgency of that period, illustrates its historical specificities, and shows how the concerns of that moment—from cultural appropriation to race essentialism to shifting models of the state—continue to resonate for contemporary discussions of race and literature in Canada. Larissa Lai takes up the term “Asian Canadian” as a term of emergence, in the sense that it is constantly produced differently, and always in relation to other terms—often “whiteness” but also Indigeneity, queerness, feminism, African Canadian, and Asian American. In the 1980s and 1990s, “Asian Canadian” erupted in conjunction with the post-structural recognition of the instability of the subject. But paradoxically it also came into being through activist work, and so depended on an imagined stability that never fully materialized. Slanting I, Imagining We interrogates this fraught tension and the relational nature of the term through a range of texts and events, including the Gold Mountain Blues scandal, the conference Writing Thru Race, and the self-writings of Evelyn Lau and Wayson Choy.
Book Synopsis Frog Mountain Blues by : Charles Bowden
Download or read book Frog Mountain Blues written by Charles Bowden and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Santa Catalina Mountains north of Tucson—whose summit is called Frog Mountain by the Tohono O’odham—offers up to the citizens of the basins below a wilderness in their own backyard. When it was first published in 1987, Frog Mountain Blues documented the creeping sprawl of new development up the Catalinas’ foothills. Today, that development is fully visible, but Charles Bowden’s prescience of the urgency to preserve and protect a sacred recreational space remains as vivid as ever. Accompanied by Jack W. Dykinga’s photographs from the original work, this book continues to convey the natural beauty of the Catalinas and warns readers that this unique wilderness could easily be lost. As Alison Hawthorne Deming writes in the new foreword, “Frog Mountain Blues continues to be an important book for learning to read this place through the eyes of experience and history, and Bowden remains a sobering voice for facing our failures in protecting what we love in this time of global destruction, for taking seriously the power of language to set ourselves right again with the enormous task of living with purpose and presence and care on the land.”

Book excerpt: Working on the Transcontinental Railroad promises a fortune—for those who survive. Growing up in 1860s China, Tam Ling Fan has lived a life of comfort. Her father is wealthy enough to provide for his family but unconventional enough to spare Ling Fan from the debilitating foot-binding required of most well-off girls. But Ling Fan’s life is upended when her brother dies of influenza and their father is imprisoned under false accusations. Hoping to earn the money that will secure her father’s release, Ling Fan disguises herself as a boy and takes her brother’s contract to work for the Central Pacific Railroad Company in America. Life on “the Gold Mountain” is grueling and dangerous. To build the railroad that will connect the west coast to the east, Ling Fan and other Chinese laborers lay track and blast tunnels through the treacherous peaks of the Sierra Nevada, facing cave-ins, avalanches, and blizzards—along with hostility from white Americans. When someone threatens to expose Ling Fan’s secret, she must take an even greater risk to save what’s left of her family . . . and to escape the Gold Mountain alive.
Book Synopsis Translating Chinese Fiction by : Tan Yesheng
Download or read book Translating Chinese Fiction written by Tan Yesheng and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-28 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on the cognitive translatological paradigm, this book introduces a situation-embedded cognitive construction model of translation and explores the thinking portfolios of British and American sinologists-cum-translators to re-examine their multiple voices and cognition in translating Chinese fiction. By placing sinologists-cum-translators in the same discourse space, the study transcends the limitations of previous case studies and offers a comprehensive cognitive panorama of how Chinese novels are rendered. The author explores the challenges and difficulties of translating Chinese fiction from the insider perspectives of British and American sinologists, and cross-validates their multiple voices by aligning them with cross-cultural communication scenarios. Based on the cognitive construction model of translation, the book provides a systematic review of the translation thoughts and ideas of the community of sinologists in terms of linguistic conventions, narrative styles, contextual and cultural frames, readership categories and metaphorical models of translation. It envisions a new research path to enhance empirical research on translators' cognition in a dynamic translation ecosystem. The title will be an essential read for students and scholars of translation studies and Chinese studies. It will also appeal to translators and researchers interested in cognitive stylistics, literary studies and intercultural communication studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern Chinese literature has been flourishing for over a century, with varying degrees of intensity and energy at different junctures of history and points of locale. An integral part of world literature from the moment it was born, it has been in constant dialogue with its counterparts from the rest of the world. As it has been challenged and enriched by external influences, it has contributed to the wealth of literary culture of the entire world. In terms of themes and styles, modern Chinese literature is rich and varied; from the revolutionary to the pastoral, from romanticism to feminism, from modernism to post-modernism, critical realism, psychological realism, socialist realism, and magical realism. Indeed, it encompasses a full range of ideological and aesthetic concerns. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of Modern Chinese Literature presents a broad perspective on the development and history of literature in modern China. It offers a chronology, introduction, bibliography, and over 400 cross-referenced dictionary entries on authors, literary and historical developments, trends, genres, and concepts that played a central role in the evolution of modern Chinese literature.

Download or read book White Mountain Blues written by Hal Z. Bennett and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-04-01 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hero of this pastoral story, “Crawdad” Templer, unwittingly creates a crisis of the heart when he unwisely asks his beloved, Cheri Bari, to choose between him and her seventeen feral cats. Having lost the toss, he drives off aimlessly into the mountains in his battered old pickup truck and a few cardboard boxes of meager belongings. With wounded ego and fractured heart he stumbles upon a remote village—White Mountain—where he is welcomed into a community of loveable outcasts, eccentrics and oddballs. After a few unfortunate mishaps, life and romance begin anew with Crawdad's chance meeting of the beautiful and mysterious Isha and the rediscovery of his hidden gifts as a writer. Before long he is happily entangled in the lives of White Mountain's citizens, who gather regularly in the dining room of the town's Gold Rush era inn and collectively work out solutions to their shared problems. The book is rich with quirky characters such as McTeague, the 100 year-old shaman married to a schoolteacher nearly half his age, Mark and Andy, longtime companions and owners of Hanna's Grocery and Supplies, Barry, Goody and Zarkov the aging hipster who returns unexpected, resurrected with a teenaged heart. Overhead, soaring in the distant aeries, an eagle named Sun weaves the invisible bonds that make up White Mountain's spirit and strength. A charming, bucolic story, at once romantic, comic and wise. Fans of TV's legendary “Northern Exposure” will find themselves right at home here."Delightfully quirky characters put one in mind of Lake Wobegon, with a subtle, shamanic theme." (Napra ReView)
