Writing Beijing: Urban Spaces And Cultural Imaginations In Contemporary Chinese Literature And Films - 9781498531016

This study investigates some literary configurations of Beijing through contemporary Chinese literature and films. These configurations as "revolutionary Beijing", "traditional and masculine Beijing", "global Beijing as a Urban Dream" are built upon three specific urban spaces: military compound, traditional dwellings, and some post-modern architectures. Representation of these spaces are revealed to be the projections of some writers and filmmakers' own cultural imaginations.
