Showing that the culture of this period was characterized by a high degree of formal looseness, she argues that such aesthetic fluidity was created in response to historical conditions of violence and widespread displacement. Moreover, she illustrates how the innovative formal experiments of uprooted writers and artists expanded the geographic and aesthetic boundaries of Chinese modernism far beyond the coastal cities of Shanghai and Beijing.China Studies24.Chinese literature20th centuryHistory and criticismSino-Japanese War, 1937-1945Literature and the warSino-Japanese War, 1937-1945Art and the warMotion picturesChinaHistory20th centuryArt, Chinese20th centuryModernism (Literature)ChinaModernism (Art)ChinaChinaHistoryCivil War, 1945-1949Literature and the warChinaHistoryCivil War, 1945-1949Art and the warChinese literatureHistory and criticism.Sino-Japanese War, 1937-1945Literature and the war.Sino-Japanese War, 1937-1945Motion picturesHistoryArt, ChineseModernism (Literature)Modernism (Art)895.1/09005FitzGerald Carolyn1663551MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910811870703321Fragmenting modernisms4020934UNINA
