Always fun to talk about Chinese literature! Thanks for the interview.

I m advertising a PhD position as part of our ERC project BLOCKADE. The PhD cand. should focus on myth/narratives of the hunger blockade in Germany, Austria in the era of the World Wars. 4 years of funding, wonderful team, amazing city (evidence attached)! Pls share! www.hsozkult.de/opportunity/...

I really admire the people putting in the hard work to make this platform more lively, but I still constantly forget it even exists and basically only log on to post some announcement. Today is borderline cadenza to that boring tune.

China stakes a claim on the future with sci-fi and speculative fiction Liu Cixin’s Three-Body trilogy and other Chinese works may challenge the West’s projection of capitalist society in fiction, experts say.

洪子诚｜当代文学中的城市为什么是匿名的？ 这是那场“革命”带来的不限于单个人的失重感和虚空感。

#todayonwechat Why are cities in contemporary Chinese literature often unnamed? Hong Zicheng argues that writers have "lost the right to 'fictionalize,' and descriptions in literary works are often interpreted as 'reality'" mp.weixin.qq.com/s?__biz=MjM5...

Our graduates mostly go into industry jobs, but also education, think tanks, journalism
