The Value Re-Establishment of Modern Chinese Literature and the Reconfiguration of Literary History Since the 1980s and Overseas Chinese Studies

Abstract

Abstract: Since 1980s, the influence of overseas Chinese studies has been significant in the value re-establishment of Chinese modern literature and the reconfiguration of the liteary history, which has helped to form an important line for literary history narrative, especially in the transmission of literay values and the remodelling of canons, the explorations into modernities and the promotion of the great literary history, and the re-finding of new literary tradition. Needless to say, the limitations and biases of overseas Chinese studies also showed in this process. The proposition of "the literature of the Republic of China" in recent years is in fact a reflection of and explorations into the development of the literary historical view in the 1980s and 1990s, the relationship between literature and politics, and "boundless modernities", as well as the traditiono f modern literature, which the paper concludes will perhaps bring about new developments to the study of modern Chinese literature.

Key words: overseas Chinese studies, modern literature, the value re-establishment, the reconfiguration of literary history, literature of the Republic of China
