圖書名稱:The Tao of S:America’s Chinee & the Chinese Century in Literature and Film

內容簡介

  THE TAO OF S is an engaging study of American racialization of Chinese and Asians, Asian American writing, and contemporary Chinese cultural production, stretching from the nineteenth century to the present. Sheng-mei Ma examines the work of nineteenth-century “Sinophobic” American writers, such as Bret Harte, Jack London, and Frank Norris, and twentieth-century “Sinophiliac” authors, such as John Steinbeck and Philip K. Dick, as well as the movies Crazy Rich Asians and Disney’s Mulan and a host of contemporary Chinese authors, to illuminate how cultural stereotypes have swung from fearmongering to an overcompensating exultation of everything Asian. Within this framework Ma employs the Taoist principle of yin and yang to illuminate how roles of the once-dominant American hegemony—the yang—and the once-declining Asian civilization—the yin—are now, in the twenty-first century, turned upside down as China rises to write its side of the story, particularly through the soft power of television and media streamed worldwide.

  “Sheng-mei Ma guides the reader on a journey to the West’s East through a provocative reading of the unending cycle of desire, fear, and loathing that constitute America’s Orientalist fantasies. Ma’s deft deployment of yin–yang dialectics is incisive and insightful and important for understanding the current moment.”--- Robert G. Lee, author of Orientals: Asian Americans in Popular Culture

  “The Tao of S is a poignantly crafted and eloquently argued monograph on the sources and evolution of American Orientalism and its influence on Anglo-America’s China discourse as well as its impact on Chinese/Asians over the past 150 years. Shedding light on a critically important aspect of the ongoing discourse in the Asian American experience, this thought-provoking book represents a unique, constructive, and timely contribution to the fields of Asian American studies, Asian studies, transcultural and transnational studies, and literary criticism.”--- Xao-huang Yin, author of Chinese American Literature since the 1850s

  “Employing wordplay, alliteration, metaphors, and other grammatical devices, Sheng-mei Ma cleverly fashions the Tao of S as a philosophy, based largely on the nineteenth letter of the alphabet, emphasizing Sinophobia, Sinophilia, and the disemboweled ‘s’ in Chinese (Chinee). The Tao of S provides an abundance of carefully researched, critically analyzed, and interestingly written material
on the representation of the ‘Chinee’ during 150 years of American literature and film. Superb.”--- John A. Lent, professor emeritus, Temple University

叢書主編序
 
Series Editor’s Preface
by Bennett Yu-Hsiang Fu
 
  Sheng-mei Ma’s The Tao of S is the first single-authored book of the new interdisciplinary and collaborative book series, East-West Encounters in Literature and Cultural Studies, copublished by the University of South Carolina Press and the National Taiwan University Press. The series seeks to trace the reality of cultural interactions and proffer new global perspectives. Tao (道), denoting “principle” and “direction” in Chinese, well sets the tone and paves the path for the series. Perceived pictorially as in the Taoist circle (☯), Tao conjoins two contesting forces yin and yang, east and west, earth and heaven, black and white, or two oppositions in the rather ambivalent, elegant curve S. Epistemically an encounter is often associated with hostile factions crisscrossing, conflating, encroaching, or conflicting, but the ambiguous yet powerful S, as the tao itself, engenders multiple readings beyond a rigid binarism, while fusing the jarring oppositions into certain harmonious renegotiation.
 
  Ma’s clever strategy of accentuating the S as a site–sight of cultural encounters elevates the literary rhetoric to a yet higher level of philosophical, epistemological rethinking, thereby allowing the dialectic twain Asia and America—or what Ma calls “search and rescue”—to reposition how the East, the West, and the Globe stand against–for each other at this critical juncture of millennial global history. Certainly, Ma’s trope of the Oriental “slant” of “one’s own shadow slanting Eastward or Westward” can also slant toward a Dickinsonian “certain slant of light” to shed light on more volumes to publish. This monograph is a textual globetrotter, spanning one hundred fifty years of Anglo-America’s and China’s cultural polemics and traveling extensively from China to Pacific Asia, to Europe and to America, from the US East Coast to the Midwest to the West Coast, and from literature to film to pop culture. Ma’s The Tao of S traces the long-standing love-and-hate, Sinophobia-cum-Sinophilia complex, nascent in Harte’s fin-de-siècle Sino-American encounter, to 2020 “post-racial” America. It is a milestone bridging current East Asian and Anglophone scholarly debates to address a global readership across continents. The Tao of S, published symbolically during the ongoing pandemic, ushers us to new reflections on the intimate relationship between Western and Eastern borders among discursive and disruptive categories and taxonomies. This first single-authored monograph of the series will help scholars, researchers, students, and teachers open new cultural vistas and produce groundbreaking work on East-West and global contacts, blazing a trail for cutting-edge research as we revisit beyond Orientalism, Occidentalism, globalism, and their beyond.
