In 1992 Deng Xiaoping famously declared, "Development is the only hard imperative." What ensued was the transformation of China from a socialist state to a capitalist market economy. The spirit of development has since become the prevailing creed of the People's Republic, helping to bring about unprecedented modern prosperity, but also creating new forms of poverty, staggering social upheaval, physical dislocation, and environmental destruction. In Developmental Fairy Tales, Andrew Jones asserts that the groundwork for this recent transformation was laid in the late nineteenth century, with the translation of the evolutionary works of Lamarck, Darwin, and Spencer into Chinese letters. He traces the ways that the evolutionary narrative itself evolved into a form of vernacular knowledge which dissolved the boundaries between beast and man and reframed childhood development as a recapitulation of civilizational ascent, through which a beleaguered China might struggle for existence and claim a place in the modern world-system. This narrative left an indelible imprint on China's literature and popular media, from children's primers to print culture, from fairy tales to filmmaking. Jones's analysis offers an innovative and interdisciplinary angle of vision on China's cultural evolution. He focuses especially on China's foremost modern writer and public intellectual, Lu Xun, in whose work the fierce contradictions of his generation's developmentalist aspirations became the stuff of pedagogical parable. Developmental Fairy Tales revises our understanding of literature's role in the making of modern China by revising our understanding of developmentalism's role in modern Chinese literature.
Andrew F. Jones is Professor of Chinese at the University of California, Berkeley.

扣掉的一星在於把進化論在中國當做一個鐵闆一塊的東西,沒有辨析知識分子和社會大眾對進化論的不同理解和變遷,這部分思想史內容
评分入手角度很小,發散地開。就是章與章之間的邏輯略含混,last chapter最有力度。
评分摘:晚清時的幻想小說既在進化論模式下區分野蠻與文明,無比期待中國的文明化,又無法為中國找到現實的發展道路,因此,故事如同奇想,故事中的國傢與人物在昏睡中一朝醒來,就“進化”到瞭徹底的烏托邦。 書太難找瞭,零碎湊章節導論看完的………
