Gao Xingjian, winner of the Nobel Prize in literature, is a cosmopolitan writer, deeply rooted in the Chinese past while influenced by paragons of Western Modernity. The present volume is less interested in a general discussion on the multitude of aspects in Gao's works and even less in controversies concerning their aesthetic value than in obtaining a response to the crucial issues of freedom and fate from a clearly defined angle. The very nature of the answer to the question of freedom and fate within Gao Xingjian's works can be called a polyphonic one: there are affirmative as well as skeptical voices. But polyphony, as embodied by Gao, is an even more multifaceted phenomenon. Most important for our contention is the fact that Gao Xingjian's aesthetic experience embodies prose, theater, painting, and film. Taken together, they form a Gesamtkunstwerk whose diversity of voices characterizes every single one of them. 410 0$aChinese-western discourse ;$vVolume 1. 606 $aChinese literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiberty in literature 606 $aFate and fatalism in literature 610 $aExile literature, China, Western Modernity. 615 0$aChinese literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiberty in literature. 615 0$aFate and fatalism in literature. 676 $a895.13/52 702 $aLackner$b Michael$f1953- 702 $aChardonnens$b Nikola 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812600603321 996 $aPolyphony embodied$93953348 997 $aUNINA
