More about the book
The book presents a comprehensive analysis of Chinese patriliny, proposing a novel theoretical framework that intertwines desire with cultural practices. It combines Marxian and psychoanalytic perspectives to reveal patriliny as both a "mode of production of desire" and an "instituted fantasy." Through in-depth discussions on kinship, gender, and mythic narratives, the author explores the intricate emotions tied to filial relationships, challenging traditional views that treat these concepts as mere cultural differences, instead advocating for a critical examination of their complexities.
