w88 casino News (provided by the w88 casino of Chinese Language and Literature)A few days ago, Jing Haoyu, a master's student majoring in Chinese Modern and Contemporary Literature at the w88 casino of Chinese Language and Literature, w88 casino, published a paper "The Inside and Outside of "Master" - The Expression of "Master" by Guo Degang and Deyun Society from the Perspective of Contemporary Urban Folk Literature" in the B-type journal "Chinese Modern Literature Research Series" (Issue 11, 2024). The instructor is Professor Liu Yan of the w88 casino of Chinese Language and Literature.
This paper is a condensed version of Jing Haoyu’s master’s thesis. This research paper focuses on Guo Degang and Deyun Society. It starts by sorting out the development of the master-apprentice system in the history of Chinese cross talk, and discusses the cross talk text and actual production relations at the same time, which can reveal the operating mechanism and potential capital logic of the “master” discourse expression. On the one hand, in Deyun Society, the expression "master" plays a role in concealing and misrecognizing the true production relations of Deyun Society; on the other hand, under the negotiation between master and apprentice based on their respective interests, relevant symbolic capital distribution and hierarchical order are established, creating a universal recognition of differential identities. The expression "Master" is mutually exclusive with the actual employment-production relations operating in Deyun Society, establishing a hierarchical order with Guo Degang at the top and ensuring the reproduction of this production relationship. It is not difficult to point out that the popularity of signifiers and symbolic capitalization of “Master” expressions in contemporary folk literature and art is not only the increasing concentration and monopoly of material capital in the cultural industry, but also the forgetting and rewriting of the exploration and achievements of China’s socialist literary and artistic production in the second half of the twentieth century.
