SUMMARY:Leftist Print Culture and New Notions of “Chineseness”: Hu Yuzh
 i\, Shanghai Book Co.\, and Overseas Chinese Youth in Cold War Southeast A
 sia
DESCRIPTION:\n	Xu Lanjun (Associate Professor of Chinese Studies\, the Nati
 onal University of Singapore\; Visiting Scholar\, Harvard-Yenching Institu
 te)\n	Chair/discussant: David Wang (Edward C. Henderson Professor of Chine
 se Literature\, Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations\, Har
 vard University)\n\n	Co-sponsored with the Fairbank Center for Chinese Stu
 dies\n\n\n	Leftist culture in Hong Kong and Malaya was different from the 
 simply defined propaganda work of Communist China. This talk will focus on
  the cultural activities of the well-known leftist intellectual Hu Yuzhi (
 1896-1986) in the “Nanyang” during the 1940s\, as well as the developm
 ent of the Singapore-based Shanghai Book Company with which Hu maintained 
 a close relationship until his death. This study will particularly emphasi
 ze how Hu and his Leftist friends tried to make cultural connections with 
 the local younger generation\, by analyzing the youth weekly Fengxia which
  he initiated during his stay in Singapore in the 1940s. The talk will als
 o explain how he used Shanghai Book Co. to influence the publication of lo
 cal textbooks for Chinese schools and popular novels on how to guide the y
 oung generation’s thoughts and lives in Southeast Asia.  This raises th
 e question of how ideologically motivated transregional cultural networks 
 and the propagandistic use of youth cultures shaped the development of ind
 igenous Sinophone cultures in this region.
