Abstract: The Contemporary Construction of the Chinese Form of Marxist Literary Criticism aims to creatively explore the theoretical features of the Chinese Form of Marxist literary criticism and to elaborate and re-interpret, from the standpoints of “Chinese Form,” the representative concepts of “people,” “nation,” “politics,” and “praxis,” and the urgent contemporary issues, such as the relationships between literature and technology, literature and capital, and the value judgment of literature. By returning to and expanding the classical Marxism and pursuing the dialogues with other forms of Marxist literary criticism around the world, the book opens up the subjective and generative discourse space for the “Chinese Form.” The study of the “Chinese Form” not only introduces itself to the world, but also provides a unique and significant reference for the study of literature and criticism around the globe. The strong future orientation demonstrated in the study of the “Chinese Form” embodies the penetrating power of theory, and such a state of unfinishability is exactly the charm of the “Chinese Form” which is constantly becoming.
