Post-modern Rebellion and Emergence in Malaysian Chinese Literature's"Small Town Experience"——a case study of the inter-textual works of Huang Jingshu and Li Zishu
In Malaysian Chinese literature,the small town serves as a field of production and life,reflecting a distinct local perspective on identity displacement and transformation as times change.Interwoven with sentiments such as nostalgia and redemption anxiety,the post-modern"small town experience"in Malaysian Chinese literature exhibits considerable complexity.Starting with Huang Jingshu's short story The Rainy Town,the visuality of the small town space is intricately connected with the sel'fs subjectivity.The Rainy Town itself engages with multiple pretexts,while Li Zishu's The Rainless Township:A Monologue provides a"meta-meta"response to The Rainy Town,marked by both homage and reflection.The inter-textual relationship between these works highlights the post-modern logic of re-bellion and emergence within the context of Malaysian Chinese literature,creating a unique experience specific to Mal-aysian post-modern novels and offering a representative case for world literature in the"post-theory"era.
