Description: Aesthetics and Marxism by Kang Liu Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Examines writers, philosophers, and political leaders in China and the West, and reveals the extent to which they incorporate ideas about culture" and "aesthetics" in their theories and practices. Publisher Description Although Chinese Marxism - primarily represented by Maoism -is generally seen by Western intellectuals as monolithic, Liu Kang argues that its practices and projects are as diverse as those in Western Marxism, particularly in the area of aesthetics. In this comparative study of European and Chinese Marxist traditions, Liu reveals the extent to which Chinese Marxists incorporate ideas about aesthetics and culture in their theories and practices. In doing so, he constructs an understanding of Chinese Marxism. The book traces the genealogy of aesthetic discourse in both modern China and the West since the era of classical German thought, showing where conceptual modifications and divergences have occurred in the two traditions. He examines the work of Mao Zedong, Lu Xun, Li Zehou, Qu Qiubai, and others in China, and from the West he discusses Kant, Schiller, Schopenhauer, and Marxist theorists including Horkheimer, Adorno, Benjamin and Marcuse.While stressing the diversity of Marxist positions within China as well as in the West, Liu explains how ideas of culture and aesthetics have offered a constructive vision for a post-revolutionary society and have affected a wide field of issues involving the problems of modernity. Author Biography Liu Kang is Associate Professor of Comparative Literature and Chinese at Pennsylvania State University. His books include Demonizing China and Bakhtins Dialogism and Cultural Theory.
