Shuang Shen, As sociate Professor of Comparative Literature and Chinese

“Int er-imperiality” is a term most recently used by Laura Doyle to des cribe the overlapping, competition, and co-constitution of empires and i mperialisms. It tries to imagine the literary field in terms of radical relationality, emphasizing messy dependencies instead of autonomous iden tities. I argue this perspective can shed light on the politics Sinophon e popular literature, which was produced and circulated in a regional co ntext involving Mainland China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaya, and other parts of Southeast Asia. My talk will draw for its example the romantic fictions written in the 1950s and 1960s, some of which were written for the USIA-funded magazine The Story Paper.
