AbstractGhosts appear in a great number of fictional works from the early modern period to the present. Yet, to this date no systematic study of this very heterogeneous textual corpus has been undertaken. This paper proposes as a useful starting point a review of figures and discourses of spectrality, mainly in Republican-era literary and critical texts, that focuses in particular on the different meanings and usages of the term

Modern Chinese Fiction

The concept of inter-subjectivity serves as a starting point to discuss a book-writing competition sponsored by John Fryer in 1895 and the rise of modern Chinese fiction. His departure from China the following year had two possible reasons: money and the expectations. The money issue was related to the prompt initiation and excessive expences of this contest; besides, the contest specific requirements contributed greatly to the identity awareness of the Chinese writers. The horizon of one’s expectations touches the problem of subjectivities. A fusion of the expectations of the missionary and those of Chinese literati manifested itself in The New-Age Novel as inter-subjectivity. Nevertheless, the expression of imagined sovereignty of Chinese literati in the works presented at the contest went beyond Fryer’s expectations and gave birth to not only simply a Western impact and Chinese response and a Sino-centric pattern both which served as a spur to the rise of modern Chinese novel.
