Item type:Publication, Sex and the Glocalising City: Women Writers as Transcultural Travellers in Postsocialist Chinese Literature, 1997-2016In Chapter Nine, ‘Sex and the Glocalising City: Women Writers as Transcultural Travel- lers in Postsocialist Chinese Literature, 1997–2016’, Daria Berg and Rui Kunze investigate the themes of gender, sexuality and the glocalising cityscape—combining both globalising and localising trends—in postsocialist Chinese women’s writings. Using the works of two women writers—Wei Hui 衛慧 (alias Zhou Weihui 周衛慧, b. 1973) and Chun Shu春樹 (alias Zou Nan 鄒楠, b. 1983)—as case studies, this chapter traces transcultural flows from US popular culture into China and the construction of a new glocalising culture in Chinese literary discourse. It examines the new wave of women’s writings about the glocalising citys- cape, transcultural travel and the quest for cosmopolitanism. The imaginary of the glocalising cityscape appears in two dimensions: as a local, native place as epitomised by Shanghai and Beijing, and also as a global, foreign symbol of ultramodernity in the shape of New York. It sets the stage for China’s new transcultural women travellers who seek an ultramodern lifestyle characterized by sexual and economic emancipation. This study sheds fresh light on the self- fashioning of a new generation of women writers as China’s emerging cultural entrepreneurs.Type:book sectionVolume:6 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
