Title: Russians and Chinese: Images of Mutual Perception in Literature by Ekaterina Vladimirovna Senina
Price: 1356.00 RUR
Description:
This monograph explores the ethno-psychological, ethno-cultural, and ethno-religious processes of mutual perception between Russians and Chinese, as reflected and transformed through a distinctive type of artistic imagery. The authors define the concept of the “image of artistic perception,” a term currently subject to scholarly debate. Focusing in detail on the border historical situations of the first half of the 20th century in Russia and China, the researchers identify ethnic constants of mentality that determine the conditions for compatibility between these two very different ethnic groups. The study examines the ability to find a common language and expand the boundaries of “one’s own versus another’s” within traditionalist consciousness. The subject of analysis primarily includes Russian and Chinese literature from the pre-revolutionary and post-revolutionary years, as well as the works of writers of the Far Eastern frontier (N. A. Baikov, P. V. Shkurkin, V. Marta, Xiao Hong, Xiao Jun, Ding Ling, and others).
The book is addressed to a wide audience: researchers, university and school teachers, students of humanities, and anyone interested in the problems of interethnic relations between Russians and Chinese, as well as Russian and Chinese culture and literature.
