Deconstructing
the
Myth of the “Asian Way”; Instituting a
Just History of Colonialism
"Duo
Duo (Li Shizheng) was born in Beijing in 1951. As a boy during the
Cultural Revolution, Duo Duo studied at a school in the Baiyangding
countryside, where he began to write poetry. He and some of his
childhood classmates are considered part of the “Misty” school of
contemporary Chinese poetry. His collections include Looking Out
from Death: From the Cultural Revolution to Tiananmen Square (trans.Gregory
Lee
with John Cayley, 1989) and The
Boy Who Catches Wasps
(trans. Gregory Lee, 2002). Initially, Duo Duo’s poems were short
and referenced many
Western poets. In the 1980s his poems grew longer and more
philosophical in nature. The morning after witnessing the 1989
Tiananmen Square Massacre, Duo Duo flew to London, where he was
scheduled to give a poetry reading at the British Museum. It was well
over a decade before he returned to China, instead residing in the
United Kingdom, Canada, and the Netherlands. His distance from China
incited the second shift in his poetry: he began to write of exile and
wandering. Upon his 2004 return to China, the literary community
received him with honor. Presently, Duo Duo resides on Hainan Island
and teaches at Hainan University."

La Chine et le spectre de l'Occident :
Contestation poétique, modernité et métissage
Editions Syllepse, Paris, 2002
ou en ligne www.decitre.com
Pour l'Occident, la Chine a constitué depuis plusieurs siècles à la fois un spectacle et un spectre. Alors que pour la Chine, c'est l'Occident qui l'a menacée, envahie, et contrainte à changer ses modes de vie. Pendant plus d'un siècle la société et la culture chinoises ont dû faire face aux pratiques et aux mentalités de la modernité occidentale et le métissage socioculturel y a été imposé par le colonialisme. En Occident, en choisissant d'oublier cette histoire, on exige aussi que la Chine reste "authentique" et "exotique", source de philosophies apaisantes et passives pour assouvir nos âmes troublées.
Que cet ouvrage cible les pratiques lyriques n'est pas un choix aléatoire, car si c'est le roman qui a narré et négocié notre modernité, c'est bien la poésie, quand ses pratiquants ne se sont pas laissés séduire par les politiciens, qui l'a contestée.
Dans ce livre, des contestataires lyriques célèbres, tels que Benjamin Péret côtoient des poètes chinois "dissidents" tels que Duoduo et Bei Dao, et des penseurs d'avant-garde tels Guy Debord et Raoul Vaneigem, sont associés à des chanteurs d'Occitanie, à des troubadours des Chinatowns, ou encore aux pionniers du rock et roll pékinois. La mobilisation de ces diverses formes de pensée exprime toute la puissance que représente l'arme de la critique intellectuelle et poétique.
Dans les combats de civilisation qui se jouent aujourd'hui autour des formes de la mondialisation n'oublions pas le monde rêvé par les penseurs poétiques qui en imaginent aussi l'avenir.

Book review. Excerpt:
This book strikes a rather different note from a host of others that deal with such
heavily marked and loaded terms as nationalism, hybridity, and Other that have
become academic shibboleths of sorts that students of literature must pronounce
in order to cross the line and join the crowd under the general rubric of Cultural
Studies. What I am saying is that not only is Gregory Lee knowledgeable about
Cultural Studies and the various critical theories underlying that enterprise (and
he reads French as well as English and Chinese), but he often has a sense of what
is going on and where he stands vis-à-vis the various issues and theories discussed
in this book. In my view, at least, that is by no means an easy accomplishment.
Right at the outset, then, this book has my recommendation as an informative
and original contribution to the study of the cultural scene in contemporary
China, a study that often relates the situation in China to other and comparable
scenes in different cultures and places--for example, the United States, Britain,
and particularly France.
Troubadours, Trumpeters, Troubled Makersis a collection of essays on differ-
ent forms of what Lee calls "cultural productions," chief among which is poetry
or the lyric, including the lyrics of songs in popular music. The author has a
rather strong and serious, if not idealistic, belief in the efficacy of poetry in the
contemporary world. With Benjamin Péret, he asserts that poetry is
determined by a commitment to a complex human emancipation and an over-
turning of the alienation...

2000"Hong Kong, laboratoire, comme Macao, Singapour, Taiwan et les Chinatowns du monde entier, d’une identité chinoise multiple et centrifuge. Ou, au contraire, première pièce, pour les dirigeants de Pékin, d’un puzzle mythique à reconstituer.
Vue d’ici, en tous cas, la ville du capitalisme à vitesse accélérée n’est pas connue pour son art contemporain ou son écriture introspective. Plutôt pour son goût des gadgets idiots et ses records en matière d’inégalités sociales. Mais que va donc y faire Processus ? C’est que l’industrie culturelle “made in HK” a tout de même produit un des plus beaux cinémas qu’on connaisse, bien mal en point désormais, et un phénomène assez rare de variété en langue régionale destinée aux Chinois du monde entier, la “cantopop”.
Gregory Lee a répondu à nos questions sur l’identité de la région administrative spéciale de la République Populaire de Chine."
