摘 要:Contemporary Chinese science fiction author and journalist Han Song s works often cross the lines dividing reality from imagination,science fiction from literary mainstream,technology from the *** article,focusing in particular on Han s novellaThe Rebirth Bricks(Zaisheng zhuan),aims to investigate the role played by the senses in a shift from the science fictional novum to the fictionaluncanny.Featuring technological bricks,haunted by sounds of the dead which are perceived through sight and hearing,this novella is analyzed from the standpoint of this perceptual complementarity which expresses Han Song sscience fictional re-enchantment,a re-use of supernatural themes of the past that allow him to express the(technological)anomalies of China s current reality.
