Abstract

To what extent is post-socialism a transnational conceptual framework for cultural studies? In historiographies of both China and the Soviet Union, the 1980 s is widely considered as an era of neoliberal reform, opening to the West, and turning away from "socialist cosmopolitanism," the transnational socialist official culture with Russian characteristics bourgeoning in 1950 s which had redefined two distinct national cultural traditions. By focusing on a Chinese avant-garde poet's reading Russian poetry, this article proposes that the aesthetics of reform in post-Maoist China is continuously shaped by the legacy of transnational socialist culture, yet in a more complex and subtle fashion.
