Li Yu is distinct from other modernist writers for that she is not only a writer butalso an art critic. The latter influences her writing and thusly forms her most famouswriting style—“Duōchong du yǐn” (multi-waving). The “inter-art inter-textuality” wasborn in such circumstance. This paper probes the nostalgia of inter-art inter-textualityin Li Yu’s short stories. First, the researcher investigates how she enriches fiction with arthistory— by visualizing time and transforming time into visual mind in art history. LiYu’s novels echo various Chinese artists’ paintings, all of which implying artists’ nostalgicfeelings in their age of turmoil. In transforming the elements of the paintings into hernovel, Li Yu re-creates the same motif across different medium and expresses her aestheticsand sense of nostalgia. Second, the researcher attempts to apply Svetlana Boym’stheory of nostalgia in her The Future of Nostalgia to explore inter-art inter-textuality inLi Yu’s works. The researcher aims at investigating the nostalgia in Li Yu’s selected shortstories— “Guān he xiāo suǒ,” “Jiāng xing chūxuě,” “Wu an zhī he” and “Dai he.” Lastly,the focus of this paper shifts onto the examination of how Li Yu applies and appropriatesthe elements of art (history) in her works. |
