About this product
Product Information
Shu-mei Shih's study is the first book in English to offer a comprehensive account of Chinese literary modernism from Republican China. In The Lure of the Modern, Shih argues for the contextualization of Chinese modernism in the semicolonial cultural and political formation of the time. Engaging critically with theories of modernism, postcoloniality, and global and local cultural studies, Shih analyzes pivotal issues-such as psychoanalysis, decadence, Orientalism, Occidentalism, semicolonial subjectivity, cosmopolitanism, and urbanism-that were mediated by Japanese as well as Western modernisms.

Hard to believe a seller with 175K transactions under their belt still makes rookie mistakes. No tracking, no communication after one message, just not professional. Item was supposedly shipped but never arrived. Refund (and a long-winded, flimsy explanation) came after I simply inquired about the whereabouts of my item. Leads me to think they never sent it in the first place. I've had successful deals with these people in the past, but I don't enjoy playing their brand of eBay roulette.
