description Chinese literature in the 20th century has seen how the combination between, on one hand, the canon established by Socialist realism in China and, on the other, the approaches of Area Studies in the West imposed a limited vision and a partial and slanted assessment of its complexity. The article argues that it is essential to recover the literariness of the literary text, appealing to the sophistication and critical capacity of readers, as a basic strategy for liberating Chinese literature from the interpretive siege that constrains it. The article analyses the interrelation of various aspects -such as the confusion between reality and fiction, the obsessions for interpretations of a national allegorical nature or other mechanisms of globalisation and self-Orientalism- that, in an interrelated way, determine the production and circulation of modern and contemporary Chinese literature in the global literary system. The novel Fortress Besieged by the writer Qian Zhongshu is a paradigmatic example of this situation.

The novel Fortress Besieged by the writer Qian Zhongshu is a paradigmatic example of this situation.La literatura china del siglo xx ha visto como la combinación entre, por un lado, el canon marcado por el realismo socialista en China y, por otro, las aproximaciones propias de los Estudios de Área en Occidente imponía una mirada limitada y una valoración parcial y sesgada de su complejidad. El artículo defiende que es imprescindible recuperar la literariedad del texto literario, apelando a la sofisticación y a la capacidad crítica de los lectores, como una estrategia fundamental para liberar la literatura china del asedio interpretativo que la constriñe. El artículo analiza la interrelación de varios aspectos -como la confusión entre realidad y ficción, las obsesiones por las interpretaciones en clave alegórica nacional u otros mecanismos de globalización y auto-orientalismo- que, de forma interrelacionada, determinan la producción y la circulación de la literatura china moderna y contemporánea dentro del sistema literario global. La novela La fortaleza asediada, del escritor Qian Zhongshu, es un ejemplo paradigmático de esta situación.La literatura xinesa del segle xx ha vist com la combinació entre, d'una banda, el cànon marcat pel realisme socialista a la Xina i, de l'altra, les aproximacions pròpies dels Estudis d'Àrea a Occident imposava una mirada limitada i una valoració parcial i esbiaixada de la seva complexitat. L'article defensa que és imprescindible recuperar la literarietat del text literari, apel·lant a la sofisticació i a la capacitat crítica dels lectors, com una estratègia fonamental per a alliberar la literatura xinesa del setge interpretatiu que la constreny. L'article analitza la interrelació de diversos aspectes -com ara la confusió entre realitat i ficció, les obsessions per les interpretacions en clau al·legòrica nacional o altres mecanismes de globalització i auto-orientalisme- que, de manera interrelacionada, determinen la producció i la circulació de la literatura xinesa moderna i contemporània dins del sistema literari global. La novel·la La fortalesa assetjada de l'escriptor Qian Zhongshu és un exemple paradigmàtic d'aquesta situació.Digithum: a relational perspective on culture and societyUniversitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC)201920192008info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/10609/102806reponame:O2, repositorio institucional de la UOCinstname:Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC)InglésDigithum: a relational perspective on culture and society, 2008, (10)http://doi.org/10.7238/d.v0i10.514info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/HUM2005-08151//CC BY-NC-NDhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:openaccess.uoc.edu:10609/1028062026-05-28T12:42:01Z
