Research
Interests:
My main area
of research is modern and contemporary Chinese literature
and film and comparative literature, with special focus
on the relationship among literature, culture and politics.
This includes literature and culture across mainland
China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and overseas, as well as transnational
cultural interactions. I am also interested in
gender and sexuality in Chinese literature and film;
popular culture in modern China; film and visual studies,
with an emphasis on the relationship between literature,
visuality and historiography; and critical theory and
cultural studies in the Chinese context.
I am currently
writing a book about the intellectual discourse in the
1949 Chinese divide and the formation of Cold War culture
in China. My next project focuses on the politics
of memory in post-socialist China.
