About the Quarterly Magazine "Literature
and Society"
"Literature and Society" is the successor of
"Literature and Intelligence", which was discontinued
by the unjust "Press Abolition and Amalgamation"
policy in 1980. From 1988 spring issue to 2003 autumn
issue, a total of 63 issues were published.
Excerpt from the introduction of the first issue. "To
break through the political and intellectual deadlock
and to fight against the oppression of reality and knowledge,
our publications should be more open and systematical,
and we have to raise new generations of culture."
Introduces and analyzes various aspects of culture. Began
awarding "Literature and Society New Writer Award"
in 2002 to discover new talents.
