Canonization and Ba Jin\u27s (李堯棠) Work in Chinese and US-American Scholarship

In her article Canonization and Ba Jin\u27s (李堯棠 1904-2005) Work in Chinese and US-American Scholarship Miaomiao Wang discusses the reception of and scholarship on a major Chinese author. Wang explores similarities of and differences in studies on Ba\u27s work in China and the U.S. and analyses the reasons for different viewpoints including research methods and reasons which motivates(d) Chinese and U.S. scholars to study Ba\u27s work. Wang argues that her analysis will be beneficial for Chinese scholars in order to learn about the present situation of studies on Ba\u27s work in US-American scholarship and thus effect a change—as limited this may be—in the scholarship about the processes of canonization. Wang\u27s study suggests that in Chinese and US-American scholarship on processes of canonization there is no sufficient interaction and thus in the case of Ba\u27s work Wang\u27s analysis is about the question whether the Western canon of literary scholarship has had an impact on Chinese scholarship
