Rewriting Gender:Reading Contemporary Chinese Women

---

This major intervention into feminist literary theory calls for a more sociologically informed use of the concept of discourse. Through an exploration of changing literary and gender relations in post-Mao China, Ravni Thakur demonstrates how the work of Foucault and Bourdieu can deepen our understanding of gender and literary discourse. The first part of the book explores orthodox gender roles and relations in China, and looks at how such an orthodoxy is constructed. The author uses Bourdieu's notion of the literary field to shed light on institutionalized literary criticism.
