Yet most Americans-even students and specialists of this era-have never heard of Goujian. In Speaking to History, Paul A. Cohen opens this previously missing (to the West) chapter of China's recent history. He connects the story to each of the major traumas of the last century, tracing its versatility as a source of inspiration and hope and elegantly exploring, on a more general level, why such stories often remain sealed up within a culture, unknown to outsiders. Labeling this phenomenon "insider cultural knowledge," Cohen investigates the relationship between past story and present reality. He inquires why at certain moments in their collective lives peoples are especially drawn to narratives from the distant past that resonate strongly with their current circumstances, and why the Chinese have returned over and over to a story from twenty-five centuries ago. In this imaginative stitching of story to history, Cohen reveals how the shared narratives of a community help to define its culture and illuminate its history. 410 0$aAsia--local studies/global themes ;$v16. 606 $aHISTORY / Asia / General$2bisacsh 607 $aChina$xHistory$y20th century 610 $a20th century chinese history. 610 $a5th century chinese history. 610 $aantiquity. 610 $abai hua. 610 $achiang kai shek. 610 $achina. 610 $achinese culture. 610 $achinese history. 610 $acollective memory. 610 $acrisis and response. 610 $across cultural perspectives. 610 $acultural narratives. 610 $acultural studies. 610 $afolklore. 610 $afolktales. 610 $ahistory. 610 $ahope. 610 $ainsider cultural knowledge. 610 $ainspiration. 610 $aking goujian. 610 $alate qing years. 610 $anational humiliation. 610 $anobility. 610 $apast story. 610 $apolitical allegory. 610 $apolitical. 610 $apresent reality. 610 $aprivatizing china. 610 $arepublican years. 610 $aroyalty. 610 $ataiwan. 610 $awoxin changdan fever. 610 $axiao jun. 615 7$aHISTORY / Asia / General. 676 $a931/.03092 700 $aCohen$b Paul A$025847 701 $aGillis$b John R$0232792 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781748503321 996 $aSpeaking to history$93814390 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03725nam 2200745 450 001 9910820509603321 005 20201023111955.0 010 $a1-4742-8691-7 010 $a1-4742-8692-5 024 7 $a10.5040/9781474286916 035 $a(CKB)3710000000840827 035 $a(EBL)4659854 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000081340 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11988031 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000081340 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10113014 035 $a(PQKB)11524785 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4659854 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11252525 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL955200 035 $a(OCoLC)957700465 035 $a(OCoLC)1201426694 035 $a(CaBNVSL)9781474286916 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4659854 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000840827 100 $a20201023h20201997 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe myth of the modern homosexual $equeer history and the search for cultural unity /$fRictor Norton 210 1$aLondon, England :$cWashington :,$d1997. 210 2$aLondon, England :$cBloomsbury Publishing,$d2020 215 $a1 online resource (338 p.) 225 0 $aBloomsbury academic collections.

It presents evidence that queers are part of a centuries-old history, possessing a unified historical and cultural identity. The volume reviews the fundamental historiographical issues about the nature of queer history, arguing that a new generation of queer historians will need to abandon authoritarian dogma founded upon politically-correct ideology rather than historical experience. Norton offers a clear exposition of the evidence for ancient, indigenous and pre-modern queer cultural continuity, revealing how knowledge of that history has been suppressed and censored and sets out the 'queer cultural essentialist' position on the key topics of queer history ? role, identity, bisexuality, orientation, linguistics, social control, homophobia, subcultures, and kinship patterns."--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aGender Studies: Bloomsbury Academic Collections 606 $aMale homosexuality$xHistory 606 $aGays$xHistory 606 $aHomosexuality$xHistory 606 $aHomosexuality$xhistory 606 $aPhilosophy$2bicssc 615 0$aMale homosexuality$xHistory. 615 0$aGays$xHistory. 615 0$aHomosexuality$xHistory. 615 2$aHomosexuality$xhistory. 615 7$aPhilosophy 676 $a306.76/62/09 686 $a71.25$2bcl 686 $aLB 44000$2rvk 686 $aMS 2870$2rvk 700 $aNorton$b Rictor$f1945-$01624234 801 0$bOCLCE 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820509603321 996 $aThe myth of the modern homosexual$93959118 997 $aUNINA
