Sinophone Literature and World Literature in Chinese

Abstract

Abstract: Recent discussions regarding Sinophone literature demonstrate that overseas Chinese literary research circle is attempting to claim discursive power from the American sinological field and is making its way from the margin to the centre. Meanwhile, these overseas researchers, by adopting a decolonizing and decentralizing approach, try to contest with mainland China's academic circle for dominant discursive power. Beneath the discussions is a strong sense of discursive politics. Sinophone literature and world literature in Chinese are remarkably different in terms of their respective value positions, theoretical approaches and research objectives, but researches on Sinophone literature can inform the formation of modern Chinese poetics across geographical boundaries in the context of diasporic cultures.

Key words: Sinophone literature, world literature in Chinese, critical theory, diasporic culture, discursive politics
