Thesis (Ph.D.)--Stanford University, 1995.

This dissertation is a functional approach to a poetics of xiaopin, a loosely-defined variety of brief, informal non-fiction prose that flourished at the end of the Ming dynasty (1368-1644). It is centered on one particular collection of such writings, the Tao'an mengyi ("Dream Reminiscence of Tao'an"), written by the Ming loyalist Zhang Dai (1597-1684?). Most studies of late-Ming literature focus on the theoretical debates of the leading literary critics; this study is instead an exploration of the functions one particular body of xiaopin might have served within the personal world of its author.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This dissertation is a functional approach to a poetics of xiaopin, a loosely-defined variety of brief, informal non-fiction prose that flourished at the end of the Ming dynasty (1368-1644). It is centered on one particular collection of such writings, the Tao'an mengyi ("Dream Reminiscence of Tao'an"), written by the Ming loyalist Zhang Dai (1597-1684?). Most studies of late-Ming literature focus on the theoretical debates of the leading literary critics; this study is instead an exploration of the functions one particular body of xiaopin might have served within the personal world of its author.
520 $a The study posits that xiaopin constitute a particular mode of memory--fragmentary, associative, and personal as opposed to public--which is analogous to nostalgia. This analogy reveals that xiaopin are not just random, trivial jottings, but can represent powerful and fundamental loyalties, social ties, and confirmation of one's very existence in a particular, minutely-known world.
520 $a Chapter One introduces these basic issues, provides an overview of the secondary literature on xiaopin, introduces biographical sources on Zhang Dai, and ends with an annotated list of Zhang's extant works.
520 $a Chapter Two is devoted to the issue of nostalgia. The first half demonstrates that while nostalgia is a Western word and construct, there exists a complex of Chinese concepts which is similar enough to support a discussion of nostalgia in a Chinese context. The second half examines nostalgia as a particular mode of memory in the West, looking from the points of view of philosophy, psychoanalysis, and history.
520 $a Chapter Three focuses on the Tao'an mengyi, and demonstrates that by accumulating memory fragments concerning loyalties to empire and family, a personally-known culture, the specific place of the author within a larger society, and various sorts of spectacles that cast the very nature of personal being into question, Zhang Dai quite knowingly constructs a prose memorial to himself.
520 $a Chapter Four finds in these fragments a kind of self-portrait, so that the Tao'an mengyi becomes an exploration of how a self is present in what lies beyond the format of a more conventional biography.
