  • Latin America and Asia: Moments in TransAreal Literature-History and A Buried Tradition

    Author:Ottmar Ette

    Abstract: The relations between China, the Asian world and Latin America are centuries old, rich in tradition and intense at all times. Yet, in many cases, they are buried tradition that need to be brought back to the light of day and raised to consciousness. This article attempts to prove this thesis by means of four historical moments in different epochs and in different parts of the Latin American subcontinent. In the 19th century, the famous school of painters of Cuzco drew not only from indigenous and European traditions, but also from Asian ones, which can be traced in the form of biombos to Japan and further back to China. Already in Neo-Spanish texts of the early 16th century, for example in Chimalpahin, there is a lot of evidence for the presence of Asian delegations, which also stood for artistic traditions that can be traced through the entire colonial period. At the end of the same period, ...

  • Absent yet Ubiquitous: The Writing of Body in British WWI Literature

    Author:Jinfeng Zhang

    Abstract: The body is both biological and social-cultural, both the object and the subject. Academically speaking, body studies in many disciplines are rapidly developing. War is an activity that undoubtedly exerts a great impact on the human body, yet the human body either during actual wars or as depicted in war literature so far has been understudied. This article examines how British WWI combat writers present the Great War’s dehumanization and objectification of the human body, and then analyzes how the combatants tried to construct the subjectivity of the human body and thus maintain the dignity and meaning as human beings.
