Ist die Rede von ›Realismus‹ nichts anderes als ein »unendlich dehnbarer Sack, in dem man alles, was man will, verstauen kann« (Roman Jakobson)? Was das Label ›Realismus‹ angeht, herrscht auf dem Terrain der Gegenwartsliteratur Gedrängel. Selbst für kaum miteinander vergleichbare Texte ist von ›realistischem Schreiben‹ die Rede: mal in Form von ähnlichen, mal aber auch höchst unterschiedlichen poetologischen Selbst- und Fremdbeschreibungen. Offensichtlich ist es nicht so einfach zu sagen, worin der spezifisch ›realistische‹ Zug eines Textes oder einer Schreibweise jeweils genau besteht und auf welche Weise welche Texte welche Realismuseffekte hervorbringen. Wie diese in der Gegenwartsliteratur konzipiert, praktiziert und reflektiert werden, zeigen die Beiträge dieses Bandes für die Zeit von 1960 bis heute, indem sie neue Zugriffe auf ›realistische‹ Texturen erproben.

The Columbia Companion to Modern Chinese Literature features more than fifty short essays on specific writers and literary trends from the Qing period (1895–1911) to the present. The volume opens with thematic essays on the politics and ethics of writing literary history, the formation of the canon, the relationship between language and form, the role of literary institutions and communities, the effects of censorship, the representation of the Chinese diaspora, the rise and meaning of Sinophone literature, and the role of different media in the development of literature. Subsequent essays focus on authors, their works, and the schools with which they were aligned, featuring key names, titles, and terms in English and in Chinese characters. Woven throughout are pieces on late Qing fiction, popular entertainment fiction, martial arts fiction, experimental theater, post-Mao avant-garde poetry, post–martial law fiction from Taiwan, contemporary genre fiction from China, and recent Internet literature. The volume includes essays on such authors as Liang Qichao, Lu Xun, Shen Congwen, Eileen Chang, Jin Yong, Mo Yan, Wang Anyi, Gao Xingjian, and Yan Lianke. Both a teaching tool and a go-to research companion, this volume is a one-of-a-kind resource for mastering modern literature in the Chinese-speaking world.

Ci sono miti culturali che consentono di riflettere sulla modernità a partire dalle sue radici, permettendo di indagarne gli sviluppi e le polarità fondamentali: tra questi, il mito della trasparenza che, nato in ambito architettonico con l’erezione del Crystal Palace di Londra nel 1851, da tempo non riguarda più soltanto la creazione di spazi caratterizzati da una totale reversibilità ottica di interno ed esterno, ma è ormai divenuto un concetto chiave del dibattito politico e sociale di tutto l’Occidente. Con un taglio agile ma teoricamente agguerrito e un linguaggio che unisce rigore e scorrevolezza, Riccardo Donati affronta qui le tappe evolutive di tale fenomeno, seguendone la progressiva trasformazione da sogno a incubo attraverso lo studio di quelle discipline che da sempre hanno il compito di forgiare e diffondere i miti: la letteratura e le arti della visione. Da Thackeray a Dumas, da Dostoevskij a Ruskin, passando per il Novecento modernista di Tzara, Breton, Scheerbart, Benjamin, Joyce, Palazzeschi, Bontempelli, Duchamp, Ejzenštejn, Zamjatin, fino ad autori del Dopoguerra e della contemporaneità (tra gli altri, Nabokov, Calvino, Rodari, Ballard, Romero), il presente saggio mostra come muovendosi costantemente tra i territori dell’immaginario e delle concrete pratiche costruttive, fuori e dentro il perimetro della storia (realmente vissuta o soltanto ipotizzata), intellettuali e artisti di tutto il mondo abbiano attribuito alle costruzioni diafane valori di segno opposto. Di volta in volta palazzi di vetro, case di cristallo, vetrine commerciali e teche trasparenti sono serviti a veicolare utopie libertarie e incubi concentrazionari, previsioni di un luminoso orizzonte egualitario e oscuri scenari di omologazione generalizzata, approdando infine, in questi ultimi anni, a vere e proprie visioni apocalittiche circa il destino della collettività.
