Tushy Jia Lissa Entanglements Part 2 1911 〈PC〉

Tushy Jia Lissa Entanglements Part II (1911) stands as a singular work that marries with political urgency , using the seemingly trivial motif of the “tushy” to expose the hidden mechanisms that sustain and resist social transformation. By situating its narrative in the crucible year of 1911, the novella captures the turbulence of a society whose bodies—both individual and collective—are in the midst of re‑configuration. Through its protagonists, Jia and Lissa, the text dramatizes a transnational entanglement that transcends language, culture, and gender, anticipating later modernist concerns with hybridity and fragmentation. Its formal daring—fragmented frames, multilingual diction, and visual interludes—further underscores the impossibility of a single, linear revolutionary narrative.
