   Extractions: N acido en 1940 en la provincia de Jiangxi (China oriental) de padre banquero y madre actriz, conoció los campos de reeducación y fue obligado a quemar una maleta repleta de manuscritos. Licenciado en francés por el Instituto de Lenguas Extranjeras de Pekín, traductor, no fue hasta 1979 cuando consiguió que sus obras empezaran a ver la luz del mercado y viajar al extranjero. Entre 1980 y 1987 publica relatos cortos, ensayos y obras de teatro en las revistas literarias chinas. Su Primer ensayo sobre las técnicas de la novela moderna (1981) origina una violenta polémica sobre el modernismo. Al año siguiente, cosecha el éxito con Señal de alarma , la primera pieza de teatro experimental que se monta en Pekín en mucho tiempo. Otra obra teatral, Parada de autobus (1983) le convierte en enemigo del régimen, que había emprendido una campaña contra la contaminación espiritual. Su obra más conocida es La montaña del alma , escrita entre 1982 y 1989, que relata la peregrinación de un etnólogo en la China septentrional durante la Revolución, en busca de culturas minoritarias. La novela, de cerca de 700 páginas, recuerda la idea grandiosa del romanticismo alemán de una poesía universal. Xingjian utiliza técnicas narrativas muy distintas de las de los novelistas chinos, hasta el punto de que un editor de su país de origen llegó a decirle que no sabía escribir, pero no deja de inspirarse en la tradición de su país para hablar de su época. En el año 2000 recibió el Premio Nobel de Literatura, siendo el primer escritor chino en conseguirlo.

2. Gao Xingjian And "Soul Mountain": Ambivalent Storytelling

   Extractions: warning By Robert Nagle , Houston, Texas, September 2002 Summary: A Texas writer who listens to "Soul Mountain" while driving in his car around Houston describes Gao Xingjian's ambivalence towards the modern novel and traditional storytelling. The Peripatetic Novel Purposeful Formlessness Beauty or Evil Nature vs. Bureaucrats ... The Storyteller's Discomfort THE PERIPATETIC NOVEL This review is a little special: it's about a book I heard completely while driving around in my car. I recently returned to my home town, Houston, a city where people spend unbearable amounts of time in the solitude of their cars, driving from work to home and work again. In Houston waiting in traffic is synonymous with living. One passes through neighborhoods in air-conditioned comfort, cursing the red lights and slow-moving cars. The purpose of Houston life, it seems, is to wander around without having to feel the breeze or notice the trees, people or shops. The only interruption to the routine are the weekly visits to the gas station, where the traveler parks, inserts his debit card into the machine and pumps gas into his tank Then, if he is lucky, he can leave as quickly as he came, merging into the grumbling fog of traffic.

   Extractions: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Gao Xingjian (1940- ) Chinese novelist, translator, dramatist, director, critic and artist, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 2000. His controversial plays combine elements from ancient masked drama with influences from Western modernism, represented by such writers as Artaud, Brecht and Beckett. Gao Xingjian's career as a writer was stopped in China when he wrote a play set against the background of the Tiananmen Square massacre. From the late 1980s Gao Xingjian has lived in France. He holds French citizenship and writes as fluently in French as in Chinese. "From my experience in writing, I can say that literature is inherently man's affirmation of the value of his own self and that this is validated during the writing, literature is born primarily of the writer's need for self-fulfilment. Whether it has any impact on society comes after the completion of a work and that impact certainly is not determined by the wishes of the writer." (from the Nobel lecture After surviving cadre school Gao Xingjian worked as a translator in the Chinese Writers Association. He became a resident playwright at the People's Art Theatre in Beijing and in 1978 he published his first novella. The first opportunity to travel abroad opened for him in 1979 and he visited France and Italy. In the same year his first works appeared. Between the years 1980 and 1987 Gao Xingjian produced a prolifical stream of short stories, essays and plays. The publication of

    Extractions: 13. Oktober 2000 von Dagmar Lorenz Auf die Machthaber in Peking jedoch, muss die Entscheidung des Nobelpreiskomitees wie eine Ohrfeige gewirkt haben. Da wurde - im Grunde heiß ersehnt - zum ersten Male endlich einmal einem chinesischen Schriftsteller die Ehre des Nobelpreises zuteil - und nun ist es nicht nur ein Renegat, der vor Jahren freiwillig der Kommunistischen Partei Chinas den Rücken gekehrt hat, sondern noch dazu ein Exilant, der inzwischen gar die französische Staatsbürgerschaft angenommen hat - und somit auch weniger regimetreuen Chinesen "verdächtig" sein dürfte. In der Tat ist der im Pariser Exilantenmilieu lebende Gao Xingjian eine durchaus auch unter oppositionellen Chinesen nicht unumstrittene Figur. Während der Jahre 1980-1987 veröffentlichte er in China Texte in literarischen Zeitschriften. Es erschienen die ersten Bücher: eine Betrachtung über den modernen Roman (1981), das Auseinandersetzungen mit der offiziellen Literaturkritik über den "Modernismus" hervorrief, eine Erzählung, mehrere Theaterstücke und eine theoretische Arbeit über das Drama. Mehrere seiner teilweise von Artaud und Beckett inspirierten Dramen wurden in Peking aufgeführt, darunter seine erfolgreichsten Stücke "Alarmsignal" (1982) und "Die Busstation" (1983, ins Deutsche übersetzt und bei Brockmeyer/Bochum erschienen: 1988) - ein Drama, das übrigens bei einer Kampagne der Parteigewaltigen als Negativbeispiel für "geistige Verschmutzung" herhalten musste.

Gao Xingjian "I själva verket är förhållandet mellan författaren och hans läsare så beskaffat att de aldrig behöver träffas eller umgås med varandra: det räcker att de möts genom hans verk, på ett andligt plan. Men ett ofrånkomligt krav ställer den mänskliga aktivitet som det litterära skrivandet utgör: författaren och läsaren måste möta varandra av egen vilja. Av den anledningen har litteraturen inga som helst förpliktelser gentemot massorna. Den kyligt objektiva litteraturen är en litteratur som går i landsflykt för att kunna överleva, en litteratur som vägrar att låta sig strypa av samhället, som strävar efter att rädda sig själv på det andliga planet. Om en nation inte anser sig kunna ge plats åt en sådan onyttig litteratur drabbar det inte bara författaren: det är också djupt tragiskt för nationen själv."

    Extractions: This site is for sale contact 1-904-260-7599 Biography Works in Translation Nobel Laureates Nobel Lecture "The Case for Literature" I have no way of knowing whether it was fate that has pushed me onto this dais but as various lucky coincidences have created this opportunity I may as well call it fate. Putting aside discussion of the existence or non-existence of God, I would like to say that despite my being an atheist I have always shown reverence for the unknowable. A person cannot be God, certainly not replace God, and rule the world as a Superman; he will only succeed in creating more chaos and make a greater mess of the world. In the century after Nietzsche man-made disasters left the blackest records in the history of humankind. Supermen of all types called leader of the people, head of the nation and commander of the race did not baulk at resorting to various violent means in perpetrating crimes that in no way resemble the ravings of a very egotistic philosopher. However, I do not wish to waste this talk on literature by saying too much about politics and history, what I want to do is to use this opportunity to speak as one writer in the voice of an individual. A writer is an ordinary person, perhaps he is more sensitive but people who are highly sensitive are often more frail. A writer does not speak as the spokesperson of the people or as the embodiment of righteousness. His voice is inevitably weak but it is precisely this voice of the individual that is more authentic.
