The re-awakening of feminist consciousness took place in the 1980s and produced many good writers and critics dedicated to the course of women＇s enlightenment. However, after the International women＇s Conference in 1990s, the feminist movement took a theoretical and radical turn under the influence of Western feminist theories and their deconslructivist discourses. The dislocated confrontations between the Chinese female consciousness and the Western post-modern culture, along with the abusive application of Western gender study theories, make most of Chinese critics difficult to adopt a tolerant attitude toward Chinese experience, and tend to be hegemonic towards critics emphasizing reason and rationality. Its cultural politics ignored multiple forms of gender experience, and the conflicts between academic and political. This paper re-evaluates the development of Chinese feminist criticism of post-1980s China. And it proposes the Chinese feminist criticism should first and foremost be based on local experience of Chinese women, and then explores gender problems for Chinese readers.展开更多

Theoretically, anthology criticism focuses on three main areas： the preface and postscript, the annotation of the anthology, and the works selected for inclusion in the anthology. Anthology criticism is unique in its methodological synergy, including the direct and indirect communication of literary judgments and the amalgamation of critical theory and practice. This paper argues that the anthology as a form of literary criticism possesses great theoretical value; it sheds light on the development of literary concepts and forms, as well as suggesting the nature of literary transmission. Therefore, the literary anthology plays a key role in the canonization of Chinese literature.展开更多
