In the 21\u003csup\u003est\u003c\/sup\u003e century where tension between the two superpowers escalates, a gaping lacuna lies in the cultural sphere of Sino-Anglo comparative cultures. By focusing on a “Sinophone-Anglophone” relationship rather than a “China-US” one, Sheng-mei Ma eschews realpolitik, focusing on the two languages and the cross-cultural spheres where, contrary to Kipling’s twain, East and West forever meet, like a repetition compulsion bordering on neurosis over the self and its cultural other. Indeed, the coupling of the two—duet-cum-duel—is so predictable that each seems attracted to and repulsed by its dark half, \u003ci\u003esemblable\u003c\/i\u003e, (in)compatible for their shared larger-than-life-ness.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2017-08-07\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319580326\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-58033-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 240\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47695205040268,"sku":"9783319580326","price":107.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319580326_18b44fe6-12fe-4486-9e0a-ed3ef6478912.jpg?v=1776775878","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319580326","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
