Gao Xingjian

    4 gennaio 1940

    Gao Xingjian è un romanziere, drammaturgo e pittore di origine cinese il cui lavoro si addentra nelle profondità dell'esistenza umana, dell'identità e della libertà nel panorama della società moderna. La sua scrittura esplora spesso temi universali, impiegando un linguaggio minimalista ma evocativo che unisce le tradizioni letterarie orientali e occidentali. La voce distintiva e le profonde intuizioni di Gao gli sono valse il riconoscimento come figura letteraria e artistica di rilievo.

      L'opera più nota del premio Nobel per la letteratura 2000. È il racconto, in gran parte autobiografico, di un lungo viaggio nella Cina del sud-ovest, compiuto da uno scrittore perseguitato dal regime e al quale, per errore, è stato diagnosticato un cancro. Il viaggio è dunque l'occasione di un bilancio esistenziale e fonte inesauribile di nuove esperienze. E il libro diviene romanzo picaresco in cui si intrecciano avventure di feroci briganti e tristi storie di fanciulle suicide per amore, saggio enciclopedico sugli animali e le piante della foresta, sugli usi delle popolazioni tribali, sulla storia classica e contemporanea, riflessione politica sulla Cina comunista, ricerca filosofica, storia d'amore...

      The study of the interplay between the individual self and collective selves is an arena of rich theory and research in social psychology. Self and Social Identity is a collection of readings from the four-volume set of Blackwell Handbooks of Social Psychology that examine how group memberships shape the content of the individual's self concept and how the sense of self is expanded as a consequence of identification with other individuals and the group as a whole.

      When Gao Xingjian won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2000, he became the only Chinese writer to achieve such international acclaim. The Chinese University Press is the first publisher of his work in the English language. Indeed, The Other Shore is one of the few works by the author available in English today. The Other Shore: Plays by Gao Xingjian contains five of Gao's most recent works: The Other Shore (1986), Between Life and Death (1991), Dialogue and Rebuttal (1992), Nocturnal Wanderer (1993), and Weekend Quartet (1995). With original imagery and in beautiful language, these plays illuminate the realities of life, death, sex, loneliness, and exile. The plays also show the dramatist's idea of the tripartite actor, a process by which the actor neutralizes himself and achieves a disinterested observation of his self in performance. An introduction by the translator describes the dramatist and his view on drama.
