Writing, Rewriting, And Miswriting: Eileen Chang’S Late Style Against The Grain, Lina Qu
Writing, Rewriting, And Miswriting: Eileen Chang’S Late Style Against The Grain, Lina Qu
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In her article “Writing, Rewriting, and Miswriting: Eileen Chang’s Late Style Against the Grain,” Lina Qu reconstructs Eileen Chang as a Saidian late figure and formulates the poetics and politics of lateness immanent in her late self-writing.

This article explores the cultural representations in Seediq Bale. Fighting back as a colonized man for pride and dignity is portrayed as means to restore their masculine identity. The headhunting tradition is remembered, romanticized, praised highly as heroic and even strengthened in an inaccurate way to promote individualistic masculinity and to forge a new national identity in postcolonial Taiwan. Nevertheless, the stereotypical …
