The Exotic Other and Negotiation of Tibetan Self: Representation of Tibet in Chinese and Tibetan Fiction of the 1980s

Original language description

This study examines various representations of Tibet in Tibetan and Chinese fiction from the 1980s. With its analysis of some of the first Tibetan short stories published approximately a decade after the end of the Cultural Revolution it greatly contributes to the scholarly research of the rise of modern Tibetan literature. The image of Tibet that appears in the works of Tibetan authors is here compared with the Chinese representations of Tibet from the same period. The analysis is informed by postcolonial theories of literature and is focused mainly on the stereotypes that appear in representation of Tibet both in China and in the west. The primary aim of this study is to examine the influence of such stereotypes on Tibetan literary negotiations of their own newly reshaped identity.
