Imagining a cosmopolitan cosmos : Chinese science fiction
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This dissertation examines Chinese science fiction and its treatment in literary criticism from its beginnings in 1902 through the first decade of the twentieth century. It tells a story of how Chinese science fiction began with the cosmopolitan dreams of late-Qing intellectuals including Liang Qichao and Lu Xun, and how concerns for nation and world within Chinese sf evolved throughout the twentieth century to culminate in the fiction of Liu Cixin at the beginning of the twenty-first century. It argues that contemporary permutation of Chinese sf represented by Liu Cixin attempts to transcend nationalistic thinking and offers a cosmopolitan perspective on issues of global significance.
