Fiction has emerged as a major medium for modern Chinese to express their imagination and 'narrate' the country since Liang Qichao advocated the importance of 'New Fiction'. Over the past century, fiction (including both its form and content) has undergone various changes in response to the transformation of the modern Chinese society. In 1993, David Der-wei Wang initiated a discussion on 'Imagination of China', examining how Chinese people imagined the past, present and future of the country through fiction as a means of fabricated narration. While diegesis is a literary concept central to Realism and lyric constitutes a typical form of Romanticism, visual expression is the technique representative of Modernism. This method was first introduced to Shanghai by Liu Na'ou from colonial Taiwan and it exerted tremendous impacts on the works of Mu Shiying and Eileen Chang subsequently. The present dissertation sought to address two main questions pertaining to 'visuality'. First, how did the fictions of Liu Na'ou, Mu Shiying and Eileen Chang use visual expression for imagination of China? A related concern was how this approach reflected and molded the modern experience of China. Second, how was this particular mode of imagination related to other forms of imagination of the time? Also, what was its association with the politics and ideology in the arena of power? This dissertation did not only analyze the visual properties of this particular mode of imagination, but also examined the power issues underlying the technique, including colonialism and post-colonialism, literature and image, as well as man and woman. / There are five chapters in the dissertation. The first chapter introduces the framework, method, and background of the research. Chapter two examines how Liu Na'ou, Mu Shiying and Eileen Chang imported, migrated and mimicked the visual perceptions of colonists when expressing their imagination of China. On the one hand, this kind of imagination closely resembled the mentality of colonists such as France and Japan. On the other hand, the three authors strived to make modifications, formed critical judgments and reflected on the roles of the colonizer and the colonized during the process of imagination. All these were manifested in the changes in the form of presentation characterizing their fictions. As such, examination of these changes relative to the literature from the 1930s to 1940s is another focus of this chapter. Chapter three explores how Liu Na'ou, Mu Shiying and Eileen Chang incorporated the visual features of movies into fictions when expressing their imagination of modern China. The interaction between literature and image (especially the influence of movie on the presentation of fiction) inspired the three authors to come up with an alternative perceptive regarding imagination of China. The intersection of fiction and movie also allowed more room for fictitious creation, giving rise to a different mode of imagination beyond those featuring Realism and Romanticism. Some other issues covered in this chapter include why and how this approach guided the imagination of readers in designated time and space, as well as its relationship with the national discourse. Chapter four discussed the problems concerning imagination of China with reference to visuality and alternation in sexual subjectivity. Male vision could be identified in the fictions of Liu Na'ou and Mu Shiying. However, under the symbolic system of patriarchal culture, such male vision, when compared with the vision of the colonizer, is apparently less prominent in terms of male subjectivity. In their fictions, female characters are usually 'seen' through the lens of others and such female images are largely consistent with the male authors' perceptions of national subjectivity. This chapter also investigated how Eileen Chang used vision as a way to reflect on the male perceptions of female images, as well as how she was imagined and defined as a female author in the field of literature. Chapter five is the conclusion, which highlights the significance of visual expression in Liu Na'ou's, Mu Shiying's and Eileen Chang's fictions. / 梁慕靈. / Adviser: Hang Fung Carole Hoyan. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 73-03, Section: A, page: . / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2010. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 269-306). / Electronic reproduction.

This paper concentrates on the discussion of the relationship between 1930s Chinese modern writer Shi Zhecun and "translated modernity." The basic assumption behind this paper is that the work of fiction by Shi Zhecun is a kind of translingual practice, which is inextricably bound up with translation. It is through such a broad sense of translational activity that Shi Zhecun began his pursuit of modernity and finally obtained a kind of modernity different from the Western, the translated modernity. Looking from the perspective of translingual practice, the fictional work by Shi Zhecun is never an isolated mental work, but the consequence of cultural exchange and vigorous bombardment between Chinese and Western literature. On one hand, his fiction fails to stand outside of the progress of modernity in China, while his work is also deeply embedded in the network of Western literature on the other hand. By mean of a series of mimicry, appropriation and rewriting, he translates text from various times, spaces and media into his own work. In the fiction by Shi Zhecun, we may see the process of how foreign literature and other cultural factors rise, circulate and eventually gain legitimacy in the 1930s China. At the same time, we can also know of how they have changed the observation and conception of modern Chinese writers towards literature and the outer world. Therefore, not only does fiction by Shi Zhecun comprise the modernity experience of Shanghai, a metropolitan city in the 1930s, to synchronize with the world, but they also record responses and changes of modern Chinese fiction in the face of the progress of modernism. / This paper is divided into seven chapters. The first chapter is an introduction, which briefly introduces the background of investigation of Shi Zhecun's fiction and expounds the theoretical framework of "translated modernity". Chapter two to six are the core part of this paper. By introducing related literary and cultural theories, they serve to probe into fiction by Shi Zhecun. Chapter two draws an outline of historical materials and observes the frequent mimicry and rewriting phenomena on his early work with regard to his fictional work and translational activities, in order to grasp how he transplants forms and techniques from the Western fiction into the Chinese situation. Chapter three deepens discussion on the previous chapter and examines how Shi Zhecun employs western psychoanalytic method and narrative mechanism in his "old stories retold" to construct the interiority unique to modern fiction. Chapter four intervenes from the viewpoint of technologized visuality to analyze the relationship between psychoanalytic fiction by Shi Zhecun and modern visual text. Through the discussion of mode of space in fiction, chapter five looks at how Shi Zhecun's fiction transform modern urban space into fictional text, producing a range of thoughts concerned with modernity. Chapter six, by reconstructing his literal tradition, interprets the traditional elements found in his fiction and analyzes with different aspects his re-creation of Chinese traditional literature. Chapter seven is the conclusion, which attempts to consolidate what has been discussed before in this text, in order to contemplate the important significance of modernity in China brought about by Shi Zhecun's fiction. / Translation, since the Late Qing Dynasty, has been exhibiting great influence on China's road towards modernity. Scholars Lydia Liu and David Wang present "translated modernity" as a way to delve into the relationship between translation, Chinese Late Qing fiction and May Fourth literature. From Late Qing to May Fourth, translation has been highly influential on the period when old literature was superseded by new one. Thus, when radical anti-traditionalism wanes, would translation, among the relatively mature 30s literature, have a new significance? / 郭詩詠. / 論文(哲學博士)--香港中文大學, 2006. / 參考文獻(p. 220-233). / Adviser: Hang Fung Hoyan. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 68-02, Section: A, page: 0575. / Electronic reproduction.
