Fate and prog­nos­ti­ca­tion in the Chi­nese lit­er­ary imag­i­na­tion
The essays col­lect­ed in Fate and Prog­nos­ti­ca­tion in the Chi­nese Lit­er­ary Imag­i­na­tion deal with the philo­soph­i­cal, psy­cho­log­i­cal, gen­der and cul­tur­al issues in the Chi­nese con­cep­tion of fate as rep­re­sent­ed in lit­er­ary texts and films, with a focus placed on human efforts to solve the rid­dles of fate pre­dic­tion. Viewed in this light, the col­lect­ed essays unfold a mean­der­ing land­scape of the pop­u­lar imag­i­nary in Chi­nese beliefs and cus­toms. The chap­ters in this book rep­re­sent con­cert­ed efforts in research orig­i­nat­ed from a project con­duct­ed at the Inter­na­tion­al Con­sor­tium for Research in the Human­i­ties at the Friedrich-Alexan­der-Uni­ver­si­ty Erlan­gen-Nurem­berg, Ger­many.
