Abstract
In this critical essay, Wang Jiaxin and Li Haipeng explore Wolfgang Kubin’s construction and analysis of the history of Chinese literature and its divergence from C. T. Hsia’s “obsession with China.” The article focuses on three key touch points in Kubin’s work: his vision of “world literature” as rooted in the Chinese context, the importance he attached to individuality, and his sensitivity to language and the importance of linguistic value in literature. The discussion centers around Kubin’s view of modernity and its place in contemporary Chinese literature, exploring the centrality of Lu Xun’s work in any analysis of modern Chinese literature, while including additional examinations of the influence Western thinkers have had on specific Chinese writers.
