Isi artikel

In post-Mao China, the discourse of desire, or sexual themes and images in poetry, fiction, and art film, is a method through which intellectuals displace socialist cultural theory. 1 Two approaches characterize this cultural movement. 2 The first establishes the past as an era of sexual repression that must be overcome in order for one to move into the future. The second reinterprets past revolutionary ideology, recasting it as sensual, erotic, and interesting as revolutionary eroticism. Both give primacy to the expression of sexuality as a way to understand the past, the present, and the future and to situate Chinese culture within an already established global context.
