西線有戰事：豐收《西長城－新疆兵團一甲子》的邊疆敘事

This paper addresses the following questions by examining the concepts of the "Cold War" and the "frontier": How can the Cold War and frontier studies be relevant? How did the Cold War structure beginning in the mid-twentieth century shape and influence various types of frontiers in physical and symbolic ways? In what sense can the concept of frontier, as both a geographical entity and discursive perspective, shed new light on our understanding of the Cold War and contribute to existing scholarship in this research field? Adopting the lens of "frontier" as a specific discursive viewpoint and analytical framework, I examine China's northwest frontier, Xinjiang (officially the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region) , as depicted in contemporary Chinese author Feng Shou's work The Western Great Wall-Sixty Years of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, to explore such connections between the Cold War and frontier studies. I argue that a nuanced investigation of China's frontiers, specifically through the literary representation of Xinjiang and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, will further complicate our understanding of the dynamics between the Western and Eastern Blocs, as well as the intricate internal conflicts and tensions within each camp during the Cold War.
