AB - This study explores the literary consciousness and aesthetic strategies of the Manxi (滿系) writers—Chinese authors active in Manchukuo—and their role in shaping the discourse of “Manchukuo literature,” a discursive construct rather than a widely accepted category. It was within this literary sphere that Chinese writers divided into two camps: the Wencong (文叢派), who emphasized “native-soil realism,” and the Yiwenzhi (藝文志), who advocated writing and publishing free from political or ideological constraints. Although their literary stances diverged, both shared the larger goal of developing a distinct Manxi literature under colonial rule. Despite the Yiwenzhi and Wencong groups’ shared aims, few studies have analyzed their differences, often labeling the Yiwenzhi as “collaborationist” while overlooking the complexity of the group’s literary thought. By reexamining the critical positions of key figures such as Gu Ding (古丁) and Jue Qing (爵靑), this study reevaluates their theoretical claims and proposals for sustaining and developing Manxi literature. By moving beyond the familiar dichotomy of resistance and collaboration, the research highlights the efforts of Yiwenzhi writers to assert cultural agency and gain literary autonomy within the constraints of Manchukuo politics.
