Dismantling Time : Chinese Literature in the Age of Globalization

This book deals with contemporary Chinese literature and literary culture, especially in regard to the impact of globalisation, and analyses the innovative narrative structure of Chinese experimental writings (from the mid 1980s to the 1990s) as both reflecting and contributing to broader changes in the consciousness of time.

It focuses on the relationship between fictional narrative form and contemporary Chinese post-historical experiences prompted by political, sociocultural and socioeconomic changes as well as global influences.
