This study is a comparative analysis of the contestatory visions of modernity in China, Taiwan, and Japan during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Through a close examination of the textual constructions of the "family" and its literal and metaphoric relations to "modernity" in literary texts, popular narratives, and public discourses, the project uncovers the interweaving gender, class, and ethnic exclusions and marginalizations at the foundation of the states' dominant conceptions and the oppositional nativist/nationalist visions of modernity. Specifically, the dissertation demonstrates how, in three different historical and social contexts, the desire to produce and maintain national difference(s) in opposition to Western and Westernized modernity invariably leads to the (re)affirmation of patriarchal (family) traditions and the continuation and even reinforcement of gender domination and oppression. At the same time, the study shows the contestation of such gender injustice and inequality and the consequent alternative visions of modernity in feminist and women's writings ranging from fiction to autobiographical testimony.Subjects--Topical Terms:
