Promoted To The Level Of Official Policy Issue And National Complex, Nobel Anxiety Generated Articles, Conferences, And Official Delegations To Sweden. Exiled Writer Gao Xingjians Win In 2000 Failed To Satisfactorily End The Matter, And The Controversy Surrounding The Nobel Committees Choice Has Continued To Simmer.Julia Lovells Comprehensive Study Of Chinas Obsession Spans The Twentieth Century And Taps Directly Into The Key Themes Of Modern Chinese Culture: National Identity, International Status, And The Relationship Between Intellectuals And Politics. The Intellectual Preoccupation With The Nobel Literature Prize Expresses Tensions Inherent In Chinas Move Toward A Global Culture After The Collapse Of The Confucian Worldview At The Start Of The Twentieth Century, And Particularly Since Chinas Reentry Into The World Economy In The Postmao Era. Attitudes Toward The Prize Reveal The Same Contradictory Mix Of Admiration, Resentment, And Anxiety That Intellectuals And Writers Have Long Felt Toward Western Values As They Struggled To Shape A Modern Chinese Identity. In Short, The Nobel Complex Reveals The Pressure Points In An Intellectual Community Not Entirely Sure Of Itself.Making Use Of Extensive Original Research, Including Interviews With Leading Contemporary Chinese Authors And Critics, The Politics Of Cultural Capital Is A Comprehensive, Uptodate Treatment Of An Issue That Cuts To The Heart Of Modern And Contemporary Chinese Thought And Culture.
