Abstract:
This book investigates Chinese science fiction as a phenomenon of world literature or a product of translation.Through exploring the mutiple "textual pathways" as well as "conceptual and thematic networks" that exist between translations and creations during the two boom periods and beyond, the book hightlights the ways in which science fictions intervened in critical debates on nationalism, realism, humanism, and environmentalism in tewntieth-century China.
