Edward
Gunn's teaching focuses largely on twentieth-century Chinese fiction
and drama, film, cultural criticism, and popular culture. He has worked
in each of these areas with graduate students in East Asian Literature,
Comparative Literature, Theater Arts, and other fields. His current
research is on the use of local languages in the media and literature
of China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. This study in fiction, reportage,
and advertising, television, film, radio, and music draws on literary
and cultural studies, the sociology of culture, and philosophy of
language. Apart from translations, his book-length publications include Rewriting Chinese: Style and Innovation in Twentieth-Century Chinese
Prose (Stanford, 1991), Twentieth-Century Chinese Drama: An
Anthology (Indiana, 1983), and Unwelcome Muse: Chinese Literature
in Shanghai and Peking, 1937-45 (Columbia, 1980), which surveys
Chinese literature under the Japanese occupation. He received his
doctorate at Columbia University. He is a member of the Association
for Asian Studies and the Modern Language Association, where he currently
serves on the Committee for Texts and Translations.
