Socialist Cosmopolitanism offers an innovative interpretation of literature from the Mao era, proposing to read Chinese socialist literature as world literature. China after 1949 engaged with the world beyond its borders in myriad ways and on many levels—political and economic, cultural as well as literary. Far from rejecting the worldliness of earlier eras, Nicolai Volland demonstrates, the young People's Republic developed its own cosmopolitanism. Rather than a radical break with the past, Chinese socialist literature should be seen as an integral and important chapter of China's long search to find a place within world literature. Socialist Cosmopolitanism revisits a range of genres, from poetry and land reform novels to science fiction and children's literature, and shows how Chinese writers and readers alike saw their own literary production as part of a much larger literary universe. This literary space, reaching from Beijing to Berlin, from Prague to Pyongyang, from Warsaw to Moscow to Hanoi, allowed authors and texts to travel, in the course reinventing the meaning of world literature. Chinese socialist literature is driven by a hugely ambitious—and ultimately doomed—attempt to redraw the literary world map.
Nicolai Volland is assistant professor of Chinese and comparative literature at the Pennsylvania State University.

评分这本书的argument超级简单: 从发掘1950s文学worldliness的角度重写一个更有连续性的文学史。但各章节的编排令人疑惑,主要是讨论四种不同的genre(农业,工业,科幻,儿童),但却对genre的选择没有过多解释,也看不出来它们之间的关系,进而有一种从不同材料翻来覆去重申一个论点的枯燥感。第二章讨论industrial fiction和最后讨论《世界文学》的时候,展开讲了讲socialist bloc内在的等级和第三世界。总体感觉是论点可能对于current scholarship比较新颖,但并不是很Inspiring
