| Current Projects |
| I’m working on a number of projects related to the creation of a “people’s culture” in the Maoist period. I am currently writing about the actor Zhong Xinghuo and the construction of his image as a communist film star. In a larger project I am considering the development of “people’s literature” in China and its connections to theories of socialist realism in international communist literature. A focus on the representation of gender roles in communist literature informs most of my work, as does the relationship between Chinese literary tradition and the culture of the Maoist period.
