The study contextualises the Chinese left-wing intellectual movements and their political engagements in relation with the early 20th century international political events and trends in both East Asia and Europe. The Creation Society was largely viewed as a subject of literary studies. This research, however, evaluates these intellectuals in the context of Chinese revolution and elaborates their theoretical contribution to the Chinese Communist Party’s practice of “theoretical struggle” as a main driving force of ideological construction. As this study tries to demonstrate, theoretical struggle drives the ideological politics forward while maintaining its political vigour.Ideas, history, and modern China ;Volume 9.IntellectualsPolitical activityJapanChinese literatureSocieties, etcChineseJapanSocieties, etcChinaIntellectual life20th centuryElectronic books.IntellectualsPolitical activityChinese literatureSocieties, etc.ChineseSocieties, etc.951.04/1Yin Zhiguang914556MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460820103321Politics of art2049620UNINA
