520 $a This dissertation is a study of the debates around the concept of culture at the turn of the twentieth century. My objective is to explore the problems of cultural identity and transformation in these writers' fictional and theoretical works and to analyze their mixed contribution to the emerging project of globalization.
520 $a This dissertation raises the following questions: Insofar as the term "globalization" seeks to describe the process in which the "modern world" has presumably come into a recognizable existence, is there a "logic" of imagination at work in its description? And to what extent can it be understood and called into question as a "logic" of formalism? I explore how narratives of globalization continue to create a scheme of co-figuration*, in which a figure, e. g. a people, a culture, a body of literature, is deployed spatially to contrast and/or compare with another. This dissertation attends to some ideological implications in perpetuating this narrative arrangement and comparative framework as heuristic models.
520 $a I contend that comparativists need to confront the limits of this scheme of co-figuration in order to allow for more inventive ways of doing research. Attempts to rearticulate the terms through which we understand the meaning of culture are critical at a time when "culture" is utilized more and more as a synonym for fixed order. Within the discipline of Comparative Literature, where the methodological norm treats particular languages, literatures, and cultures as separate and mutually independent objects of study, this tendency to represent culture as a prearranged system of signification conceals rather than confront the history of violence in the modern period. This dissertation takes the position that this history, rather than being laid to rest, should be reexamined so that we can address the limitations it has created and imagine the future differently.
520 $a *Alternative renditions in Chinese may be co-compose, co-construct, co-inform. I prefer co-figuration because she encompass has a broader range of meanings including "absorb," "assimilate," "attract," and "stabilize." I also have in mind Liang Qichao's call for an "art of survival" in Xinmin shuoxu lun ("On New Citizen"): "Therefore, when one wishes to extend his life, he must understand the art of survival." I prefer shexiang encompass to shexing inform because xiang(appearance) encompasses both xingshi (form) and neirong (content).
