4. Adorno and Horkheimer make this clear when they point out that for Kant, enlightenment was man's emergence from self-incurred immaturity. The immaturity lay in an inability to use our own understanding without the guidance of another. To be without the guidance of another was, for them, liberating, for it was understanding guided by nothing other than reason.

8. Scar literature (shanghen wenxue) was the name given to a trend that emerged in China after the demise of revolutionary realism. After 1976, revolutionary realism gave way to a less romantic form. Concentrating on the nightmare experiences of those who had suffered during the Cultural Revolution, it focused on the pain and suffering of rustified youth, of intellectuals, and also of the common people. The most important work in this genre comes from Liu Xinwu. See Liu Xinwu, "The Classroom Teacher," Renmin wenxue, no. 11 (1977)
