The Politics of Imagining Asia: Wang Hui
Columbia University's Lydia H. Liu will discuss Wang Hui's "The Politics of Imagining Asia" in New York City.
When:
May 2, 2011 6:30pm to 8:30pm
Where
In this bold, provocative collection of essays, now appearing in English, Chinese intellectual Wang Hui (China's New Order and The End of Revolution) confronts some of the major issues concerning modern China and the status quo of contemporary Chinese thought.
The book's overarching theme is the possibility of an alternative modernity that does not rely on imported conceptions of Chinese history and its legacy. Drawing on China's unique past to show the inadequacies of Euro-centric standards for interpreting and assessing modern China's evolution, his stance is critical — and often controversial — but he locates hope in the kinds of complex, multifaceted arrangements that defined China and much of Asia for centuries. The goal of The Politics of Imagining Asia extends beyond China and Asia to an ambition to rethink world history as a whole. In conversation with Lydia H. Liu, Columbia University.
