Taiwan Lecture on Chinese Studies “Master, Mara and the Mad Man: Absorbing Russia and the East Europe in the Prose of Lu Xun"

Taiwan Lectures on Chinese Studies comes with a new event presenting the transcultural practices and characteristics manifested in the works of the legendary Russian and Chinese writers, Nikolai Gogol (1809-1852), Lu Xun (1881-1936), and Pu Songling (1640-1715). Prof. Hsiang Yin Sasha CHEN will talk about the transcultural practices that indicate the inheriting Russian and Chinese literary legacy in Gogol and Lu’s works through a section of the book called “Russia as Master and Monster: The Literary Experiment of Lu Xun Qu Qiubai and Cao Yu in Transcultural Practices” in the theme of "Learning from Russia" during China’s May Fourth movement. The event will go further into the comparative analysis of Gogol’s “Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka” and Pu Songling’s story collection “Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio” to demonstrate the similarities in transcultural characteristics of the two Russian and Chinese literatures.
