Chang Sung-sheng: Literary Culture in Taiwan: Martial Law to Market Law
-
- Author(s) / Creator(s)
-
This is a detailed review of Dr. Sung-sheng Yvonne Chang's book Literary Culture in Taiwan, a work that charts the path from literary developments in Taiwan under martial law to the post-martial law period when market forces began to prevail in the literary realm. Lupke emphasizes the theoretical sophistication of the book, highlighting how Chang turns to the work of Raymond Williams, Pierre Bourdieu, and Peter Uwe Hohendahl to build an argument for understanding literature from Taiwan within a social frame or field. In the book, she focuses not narrowly on the product of literature itself but on public intellectuals who sought to create a space for the publication of literature, including Zhang Daofan, Xia Ji'an (TA Hsia), Yu Tiancong, Wu Zhuoliu, Zhong Zhaozheng, Lin Haiyin, Gao Xinjiang, and Ya Xian.
