Description

Post-Mandarin Masculinity and Aesthetic Modernity in Colonial Vietnam by Ben Tran explores how a new generation of Vietnamese intellectuals adapted to changing literary landscapes. This shift towards print culture led to a more inclusive approach, with post-mandarin intellectuals writing for and about women, contributing to the development of anticolonial nationalism. The term "post-mandarin" highlights the significance of this transition, which marked a move away from traditional male-to-male literary addresses towards a more democratic system of representation. This conceptualization has far-reaching implications for fields such as literary theory, postcolonial studies, and modernist studies. By examining the emergence of modern women in the world of letters, Post-Mandarin Masculinity and Aesthetic Modernity in Colonial Vietnam sheds light on the impact of this shift on aesthetic and political representation.
