Drawing on Marxism, post-structuralism, psychoanalysis, and feminist theory, Dai examines recent Chinese films that erase the country's socialist history to show how such erasure resignifies socialism's past as failure and thus forecloses the imagining of a future beyond that of globalized capitalism. She outlines the tension between China's embrace of the free market and a regime dependent on a socialist imprimatur. She also offers a genealogy of China's transformation from a source of revolutionary power into a fountainhead of globalized modernity. This narrative, Dai contends, leaves little hope of moving from the capitalist degradation of the present into a radical future that might offer a more socially just world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDai Jinhua is Professor of Chinese Literature and Language at Peking University and the author of \u003ci\u003eCinema and Desire: Feminist Marxism and Cultural Politics in the Work of Dai Jinhua\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as numerous other books in Chinese. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Lisa Rofel is Professor of Anthropology at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and coauthor of \u003ci\u003eFabricating Transnational Capitalism: A Collaborative Ethnography of Italian-Chinese Global Fashion\u003c\/i\u003e, also published by Duke University Press.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 16, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47432811380914,"sku":"9781478000518","price":51.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/03b0cca562a6f1255407850288c10e33.webp?v=1778609793","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/after-the-post-cold-war-the-future-of-chinese-history-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
