Prism Monograph Supplement
To enhance the "theory" component as accentuated in the journal's subtitle, the Prism publishes an annual supplemental issue, titled the "Prism Monograph Supplement". Supplements will focus on the application of theory, both Western and Chinese, to the study of modern and pre-modern Chinese literature. To ensure continued broad, high-quality submissions, Prism Monograph Supplement may also include works that are not focused on theory. Each supplemental issue will have a coherent structure around a single theme.
Our present arrangement is to publish one supplemental issue per volume per calendar year. Each monograph supplement will carry a distinct cover design and an International Standard Book Number (ISBN) of its own and will be made available for purchase on Amazon.com and other online vendors, in addition to being distributed through Duke University's regular networks of journal subscription and sales.
19.3 At Home in Nature: Technology, Labour, and Critical Ecology in Modern China
Author: Prof Ban Wang (Stanford University)
From the eco-critical perspective, this book critiques anthropocentricism, technoscientific hubris, and ecologically destructive modes of production. Examining modern discourse, literature, film, and science fiction, it views the domination of nature and labor under capitalism and technocrats as the culprit of ecological crises and human alienation. Alternatively, utopianisms of nonalienated labor keep alive the ideals of resonance between humans and Earth.
